VINYL = VG+ Record surfaces may show some signs of slight wear, but they don't affect the listening experience and are of a cosmetic nature only. I have cleaned and play-tested both sides of the record and it plays really well and still sounds great!
SLEEVE & Inner = VG+ (The back of the album sleeve has slight discoloration from storage, but not too bad.

PLEASE SEE PHOTOS AS PART OF DESCRIPTION
But, it's now burnt to my hard drive because I'm selling a lot of my vinyl and CD collection, because the kids are getting bigger and the house is getting smaller! Basically, it was either the kids or the records, sadly the coin came down tails...Thanks for looking!
ONLINE REVIEW:
"....One of the most important albums to emerge from the Acid Jazz scene....."

Young Disciples' Road To Freedom encompasses many of the sounds that epitomised the emerging acid-jazz scene of the early ninties.

Young Disciples formed in 1990 when American vocalist Carleen Anderson relocated to London and met Marc Nelson and Femi Williams. After signing to Talking Loud records in 1991, the group released the singles Get Yourself Together and Apparently Nothin, the latter of which became a hit in the charts. Off the back of Apparently Nothing's success, their impressive debut record Road To Freedom was released.

Road To Freedom combined muscular funk with jazz and R&B influences, whilst also maintained strong links with British Hip Hop, and as a result Road To Freedom benefits from Masta Ace and Maceo Parker guest appearances.

The majority of vocals are handled by Carleen Anderson, whose low, smoky voice at times brings to mind the likes of Chaka Khan, Anita Baker and Oleta Adams. The production is clever and unpredictable; gospel organs open "Get Yourself Together" and then fade into the oncoming beats, while airy guitars introduce "Talkin' What I Feel" before pulling a similar about-face when confronted with some surging hip-hop rhythms.

All these elements combine to make it one of the most important albums to emerge from the Acid Jazz scene, and it has stood the test of time and still manages to sound fresh and contemporary. Recommended.
