Description
I'll try my best to describe this item, though I really can't articulate through typing how strange and unique this piece is. Jayson Black was a Chicago resident who was an alcoholic since the age of eleven and was put into 11 different mental institutions. Though he became sober, he continued to be bitter about his life and the treatment of the clinically insane, which he obviously experienced first hand. This record is of his spoken word poetry which he often performed on Chicago public access television and local radio programs in the 70's. I have this record because a friend of mine in Chicago had a brother who went to AA with Jayson in the 70's and Jayson personally gave him this record. So crazy!!! Luckily this record is still in pretty good shape and can be graded as being very good+. This record is certainly no walk in the park, but instead the words of a bitter human who lived a hard life and wants to tell you about it. The result is a truly bizarre and one of a kind album of bitter poetry that leaves the listener having experienced a truly dark and psychedelic experience. This is on Chastity Records (a private label) and I have no idea how few of these exist. I've seen this LP sell for over a hundred dollars but i'm pricing it to sell... Don't hesitate to check out my other auctions!! I've got loads of other LPs up for sale right now at great prices. Many are long out of print and rare. I will be happy to combine shipping costs for multiple items though shipping costs will be more expenses for international buyers. Thanks so much and good luck!!
