Gatefold exact repro reissue on 180 gram vinyl of Scott-Herron's debut album, originally released in 1970.

Disregard the understated title; Small Talk at 125th and Lenox was a volcanic upheaval of intellectualism and social critique, recorded live in a New York nightclub with only bongos and conga to back the street poet. Here Scott-Heron introduced some of his most biting material, including the landmark 'The Revolution Will Not Be Televised' as well as his single most polemical moment: the angry race warning 'Enough.' Still, he balances the tone and mood well, ranging from direct broadsides to clever satire. He introduces 'Whitey on the Moon' with a bemused air ('wanting to give credit where credit is due'), then launches into a diatribe concerning living conditions for the neglected on earth while those racing to the moon receive millions of taxpayer dollars.
