Elaine Brown- Seize The Time - Black Panther Party

Label: Vault

Reissued 1/19/2024, Originally released 1969

First ever repress! Elaine Brown's Seize The Time is a politically charged piece, encapsulating the spirit of activism within the Black Panther Party during the late 1960s civil rights movement during the fight for social change. Originally released in 1969, the album addresses not only the civil rights struggle but also themes of love, unity, and the celebration of African American heritage and culture. It stands as a timeless reminder of the ongoing struggle for equality and the power of music to inspire and unite communities. The recording itself is the result of a collaboration with jazz musician and arranger Horace Tapscott who, as Brown said, “could sit down and orchestrate a song just as you sang it.” This record sees its first-ever vinyl reissue, pressed on white marbled colored vinyl.
