New Copy

Genre: Wave / Pop / Rock

Black Merda (pronounced 'Murder, hailing from late-sixties Detroit, were
a tight guitar-heavy freak-funk four piece band. By weaving guitar rock and
psychedelia into soul and R&B they were the gods of the underground 'black
rock' movement which fell somewhere between Jimi Hendrix and Parliament and
MC5. But it wasn't just about the music the message was just as important,
starting with the band's name (Black Murder - in protest of the mass
slaughter of African Americans during the Civil Rights Movement). As in the
original release, features a 30-second 11th track not mentioned in the
track listing on the outer sleeve but present on the album.
