In 1973, Del Jones - a proto-rapper, musician and social commentator regarded by those in the know as Philadelphia's answer to Gil-Scott Heron - recorded an inspired counter-cultural statement called Court is Closed. That album, a laidback fusion of loose-limbed jazz, soul and funk onto which he sung and spoke his truth, was rapidly deleted, with Jones opting to re-record it with a heavy horn section. Re-released and credited to Del Jones' Positive Vibes, it back a cult classic amongst Black American listeners. This much-needed reissue brings both versions of the album together for the first time on one remastered double-vinyl set and should be essential listening for all those who love Scott-Heron and fellow proto-rap pioneers the Last Poets.
