Description

1982’s Moving Target is known as a “Top 10” essential Gil Scott-Heron release. Scott-Heron and his Midnight Band recorded their most furious hard-funk-driven release influenced by reggae (there are echoes of Bob Marley in some songs). The final song “Black History/The World”, is in part a spoken-word performance by Scott-Heron ending with a “plea for peace and world change.” This title has been out of print on vinyl and completely unavailable. This Record Store Day 2025 release includes an OBI side strip, Cardboard jacket with original art work, printed inner sleeve and Bright Red color vinyl.
