American Negro
CD (Item 101446) Jazz Is Dead, 2021 — Condition: Used
Related searches
The most political album we've ever heard from Adrian Younge – a set that stands as a much stronger, much more individual message than anything he's ever given us before! All Adrian's previous instrumental elements are in the mix – heavy funk, with a special soundtrack sort of twist – but the music is set to much more righteous, powerful lyrics that are sung by Loren Oden, Chester Gregory, and Sam Harmonix – spelling out political themes and cultural concerns that are extremely resonant with the contemporary listener, and which have a lot more force than some of Adrian's more old school-styled projects. Titles include "The Black Broadcast", "Revolutionize", "Double Consciousness", "Revisionist History", "James Mincey Jr", "Margaret Garner", "Race Is A Fallacy", and "The March On America". © 1996-2022, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Still sealed!)
Additional Marks & Notes
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
Used CD Grade
We have only one grade for non-new CDs at Dusty Groove — "Used CD". This grade is somewhat all-encompassing, but we choose it because we try to offer Used CDs in the best shape possible.
When you purchase a Used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use but if there are significant details or defects we will list them underneath the item — just like we do with LPs — so look there for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details.
All of our Used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. If you purchase a Used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly — and if it does not, then you may return it for a full refund.
