None Shall Escape: Caribbean Situationist versus Trevor Menroe
London: Caribbean Situationist, 1973.
Original pressing. Vinyl LP in sleeve complete with both poster inserts. Very Good album, deep scratch to first track of Side 1, other than that the wear is light; tiny nick to label on Side 1. Sleeve Near Mint, slightly bumped bottom corner, very slight rubbing and toning. Hint of foxing to the map poster, else the posters are Fine, folded in fours as issued.
A very rare spoken word album of sorts by the Jamaican refrigerator repairman and labor organizer Joseph Edwards under the nom de plume Fundi the Caribbean Situationist. He was inspired by the French-based radical Marxist group The Situationist International who played an important role in the May 1968 student revolt in Paris (there were also Scandinavian, British, and American grouplets that were forever clashing with co-founder Guy Debord in Paris.) to start a one-man Caribbean offshoot, combining Debord's philosophy with Rastafarianism, Trotskyism, Black Power, and syndicalism. A fascinating document of avant garde politics and media analysis in the Third World during the 1970s.
