Seize The Time: Black Panther Party [LP]

Activist Elaine Brown, who went on to serve as the Black Panther Party's Minister of Information and later its Chairman, made her debut with Seize The Time on Vault in 1969. Arranged by pianist and composer Horace Tapscott, who conducted the Pan-Afrikan Peoples Arkestra, it is a political statement where Black poetry meets spiritual jazz, and a landmark of the Black music movement. Her second, self-titled album followed on Motown.

This Soulgramma edition was a Record Store Day 2024 exclusive release (an official RSD UK title), and the first time the album has been reissued on vinyl.
