Roses and Revolutions
Posted on February 10, 2006 by hcrink
An almost overwhelming private press double lp of spoken word and song about the black struggle. Appearances by a staggering list of heavyweights such as Aretha Franklin, Roberta Flack, Leslie Uggams, Nancy Wilson, etc, etc. The whole thing sprawls spaciously over 4 sides without a break. Poetry and song blending seamlessly together - almost like a giant mix of sorts. Hard the describe, so here is a little taste of one of my favorite parts.

“…Like supply sergeants who have seen everything but are still Regular Army…”
Damn, that’s like a dead-on description of my life!
Nice one, crink.
I am working on a project about the Founders of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, its rumored that there are voices of the Founders recorded on this album. Is that true? one, and two would it possible for you work with us to make mp3 files available? pls drop a line ASAP
This album has been digitally remastered and is available on CD at Delta Sigma Theta Sorority’s National Headquaters. It was available at the National Convention.
Dear Sharon, Please, how can I get hold of a copy of the Roses and Revolutions remastered cd you say is available through the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority? I would LOVE a copy of this remarkable record, whatever the format!
I bought this record in Japan for five dollars in 2002, it is one of the most beautiful things I own.
I contacted DST Headquarters and they have the Roses and Revolutions CD available for sale.

Do you know where I can get a copy of this album? I need some of the songs for a sorority function
