Elaine Brown was the Deputy Minister of Information, Southern California Chapter of the Black Panther Party.

These songs reflect the social outcry from their perspective during a time considered by many to be the most turbulent in the United States History.

Some of the song titles say it all: The Panther, The End of Silence, The Meeting (The Black Panther Party National Anthem), Very Black Man, Assassination and more.

In a quote from her self written notes in the liner: "In all societies, the way of life of the people, their culture, mores, customs, etc., evolve from the economic basis of that society. The United States is a capitalist society, the system of capitalism being one of exploitation of man by man, with by-products such as racism, religious chauvinism, sexual chauvinism, and unnatural divisions among the people. In other words, it's a dog-eat-dog society. But it's not a dog-eat dog world."

Great stuff from a chapter in history that changed our world forever.

This very scarce album is pristine throughout.

Should you require additional information or clarification ask prior to bidding.

My records are graded by traditional Goldmine standards. I don't sell records with a grading of less than VG unless it is obscenely rare in any condition.

Most of my records will grade from VG+ to M- with a conservative approach that dictates a borderline record will receive a lower grading rather than a "push" higher. 

M- / Visually without blemishes save for very minor lines or scuffs that are most likely attributable to sleeve marks, Sonically with no or virtually no sound other than that of the recording itself (no pops,crackles, ticks or hissing).

VG+ / More obvious visual signs of imperfections, pressing imperfections (bubbles for example, that do not impact play quality) light "skid" marks that can be seen but not "felt", some perceptible noise between tracks or at lead in, general sound  quality during play is uncompromising.

VG / Recording is visually and sonically of good quality, without skips or excessive noise during playback. Record may have clicks.

In some extreme instances I will submit a grading of R.M.F. (which means Rare Musical Find) to advise it is something special to consider.

Vinyl and Jackets are graded within these same general guidelines.

All specific areas of concern are noted to the best of my ability.

I try to insure all records are play graded (which I believe most collectors rate the higher priority) by spot checking areas that may be questionable and generally checking for quality overall.

I may make errors in grading and if it should occur I will make every effort to ensure you are completely satisfied with your purchase.

I ship worldwide, however those outside of the United States and Canada must pay via PayPal.

I will gladly combine winnings to save on shipping costs for you.

Personal Checks require approximately two (2) days after deposit to clear.

I invite questions and will respond in a timely manner.

Insurance is not included although highly recommended to avoid debates that may occur without it (mis-directed package, damaged item, etc.)

Shipping to the 50 states is done using USPS Media Mail rate and is calculated by weight and destination. Rates increase as package weight increases and also depends on which zone you live in. Packaging and handling are $2.75 over the cost of postage.

If you are looking for the cost to ship outside of the United States, please use the shipping calculator.

I usually ship within two (2) days after payment is received.

Shipping elsewhere will be quoted at the end of the auction and will be destination dependant. Most overseas shipments will be done via First Class International which is cost effective and a relatively fast delivery turnaround.
