Gil Scott-Heron: The Bottle Vinyl 7″

“‘The Bottle’ taken from Winter In America became a hit in the USA and an underground club hit in the UK, initially within the Northern Soul scene, and then later on in the Jazz Funk era. It is an infectious pulsating floor-filler that crosses all sub-genres and is justifiably considered a classic having retained its popularity for over 30 years. ‘Johannesburg’ showed Gil Scott-Heron had his finger on the pulse with what was about to happen in South Africa, having been recorded two years before the Sowetto riots that highlighted to the world the oppression of the regime that existed.” – Soul Brother Records
