William Melvin Kelley Reads His Own Works
New York: CMS Records Inc., (1967).
Original pressing, black vinyl with crimson label lettered in silver. CMS 525. Very Good with light surface wear and rubbing, a little scratching but nothing deep, plays fine with no skips. Sleeve is Near Mint: bright, slightly bumped upper corner, a little roll to top edge. A nice copy of a rare LP.
Hear overlooked African-American author William Melvin Kelley read from his acclaimed debut novel, A Different Drummer, as well as a short story in its entirety: "The Only Man on Liberty Street." Since being called "The Lost Giant of American Literature" by a New Yorker writer in 2018, Kelley's work has undergone a minor revival.
