Oakland CA, 1981:
Hijrah
, a vocal group formed from a small Sunni Muslim community in East Oakland, independently releases an album called
Truly Free
. Locally successful but without distribution, it quickly goes out of print, falling into obscurity. Now rare, prized and sought-after for its beautiful combination of multipart harmonies, soul-jazz backing, and uplifting spiritual message, Key System present this first-ever reissue, licensed directly from the group, and coupled with their 1985 follow-up
Time
-- a funky and eclectic update of the Hijrah sound which sadly never saw the light of day. Mastered by
Jessica Thompson
, with exhaustive historical listening notes by
John Morrison
. Pressed at Gotta Groove in Ohio; edition of 500.
