Comment:
The main recipient of this mix is a young white well-off type South Africa native who doesn't know much about American music or the Civil Rights movement for that matter, but does have a decent ear for music. Should be interesting to hear his reaction.UPDATE: the young white male hated it, but then he likes Nickelback so what can you say?
The young woman who got the next version liked it a lot more!
Feedback:
a rather grisly cover, but it's fact and it's history.
makes me miss the vast selection of South African records i once had access to at that radio station... sigh. do you happen to have that Black and Proud comp. out on Trikont?

That Garland song is awesome. Great job!
Excellent. I happen to have both Trikont comps . . .
awesome, nearly all tracks here are killers
Massive. Not only a great Garland but fantastic Curtis Mayfield & Marvin Gaye...
great mix. in answer to the title question : the revolution already happened but was betrayed from within.
Fantastic.
