This record was recently reissued, this copy for sale is an original from 1969 in great shape.

Jayson Black was a Chicago resident who was an alcoholic since the age of eleven and was put into 11 different mental institutions.  Though he became sober, he continued to be bitter about his life and the treatment of the clinically insane, which he obviously experienced first hand.  This record is of his spoken word poetry which he often performed on Chicago public access television and local radio programs in the 70's.  I have this record because a friend of mine in Chicago had a brother who went to AA with Jayson in the 70's and Jayson personally gave him this record.   So crazy!!!  Luckily this record is still in pretty good shape and can be graded as being very good+.   This record is certainly no walk in the park, but instead the words of a bitter human who lived a hard life and wants to tell you about it.  The result is a truly bizarre and one of a kind album of bitter poetry that leaves the listener having experienced a truly dark and psychedelic experience.
