It was during the I’m New Here (2008) recording sessions at New York’s Looking Glass studios that Gil Scott-Heron recorded stripped-down new versions of some of his greatest (but not necessarily best-known) songs.
Accompanying himself on piano and with no overdubs, the result three years after his death brings us Nothing New: a rare musical insight into one of our most profound recording artists of our time.
The collectible Nothing New will be released only on 12″ vinyl, limited to 3000 copies, and available exclusively on Record Store Day, 19th April 2014.
This looks like a must have. Exciting release!

Infuriating that it wasn’t released on any other format.
