{"product_id":"roland-young-hearsay-i-land-vinyl-lp","title":"Roland Young - Hearsay I-land (Vinyl LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails: \u003c\/strong\u003eRecognized for his spiritual jazz classic, Isophonic Boogie Woogie, as well as his more recent output on EM records, Hearsay I-Land presents another parallel and deeply engaging side to Roland P. Young's story. This long-awaited re-release highlights Young's mid-80's foray into pop structures, soul, and dance music, and comprises the entirety of his scarce 1984 four song 12\", I-LAND, as well as most of his 1987 LP, Hearsay Evidence, both self-released on his Flow-Chart Records. Originally compiled and released in 2013, this updated and remastered edition proudly includes an additional inner sleeve with unpublished photos, tip-on jacket, and a more superior vinyl pressing. \r\n\r\nHearsay I-Land will fit at home in any downtempo 80's NYC set. It's a more intimate and personal album, marking a departure for the classically trained clarinetist, and followed a decade in the fervent Bay Area where he experimented within the minimalist and jazz genres, and then with his early 80s work in the postpunk-funk group The Offs. These recordings reflect a change of coasts with Roland moving to Manhattan, and touch upon many lyrical and worldly themes of the era via Roland's soulful voice, save for Ballo-Balla, which features floating vocals from his partner Risa over a spacey drum machine and hypnotic bass sequence, imploring the listener to dance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGo Away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Don't Make Me Wait\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ballo-Balla\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Edge Of Disaster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Don't Ever Take Your Love Away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Victim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e So Very Easy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Different Package\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e It Hurts So Bad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Pale Blue Dot Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45973992112225,"sku":"881626574911","price":23.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1588\/0411\/files\/3957523-2693650.jpg?v=1783370525","url":"https:\/\/thedarkslide.com\/products\/roland-young-hearsay-i-land-vinyl-lp","provider":"The Dark Slide","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
