BLACK MERDA – S/T

format: CD digipack

UPC: 8013252911125 (CD)

Hailing from late-sixties Detroit, Black Merda (pronounced “Murder”) were both aesthetically and musically way ahead of their time. When most black groups (including Parliament / Funkadelic) were still sporting suits, singing about love and using a horn section, Black Merda had already become a tight guitar-heavy freak-funk four piece. By weaving guitar rock and psychedelia into soul and R&B they were the gods of the underground “black rock” movement which fell somewhere between Jimi Hendrix and Parliament and MC5. But it wasn t just about the music the message was just as important, starting with the band s name (Black Murder – in protest of the mass slaughter of African Americans during the Civil Rights Movement). As in the original release, features a 30-second 11^th track not mentioned in the track listing on the outer sleeve but present on the album.

Track listing: 1. PROPHET 2. THINK OF ME 3. CYNTHY-RUTH 4. OVER AND OVER 5. ASHAMED 6. REALITY 7. WINDSONG 8. GOOD LUCK 9. THAT S THE WAY IT GOES 10. I DON T WANT TO DIE 11. SET ME FREE
