GIL SCOTT HERON - PIECES OF A MAN
Pieces of a Man shares this urgent appraisal of the Black experience, but it draws mainly on pain and sorrow rather than rage. The album's title track masterfully peels back the layers of a person's psyche through strife and that attention to detail is mirrored throughout the remaining songs.
Like much of Scott-Heron’s early work, it also centers the experiences of people dealing with addiction, flipping the script on those who are quick to judge: “You keep saying, kick it, quit it, kick it, quit it. God, but did you ever try/To turn your sick soul inside out. So that the world, so that the world. Can watch you die?”

YES - TALES FROM TOPOGRAPHIC OCEANS (2XLP)
Tales from Topographic Oceans is the sixth studio album by Yes, released Friday December 7, 1973 in the UK and January 9, 1974 in the USA, on Atlantic Records. Presented as a double album with one track on each side, its concept is based on singer Jon Anderson’s interpretation of four Shastric scriptures from a footnote in Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda. It is the first studio album to feature drummer Alan White, who replaced Bill Bruford in 1972.
Tales from Topographic Oceans became the first album in the UK to earn a gold certification prior to its release. It reached number-one on the UK Albums Chart for two weeks and peaked at number 6 on the Billboard 200.
