• Track Listing

Named after the infamous 1831 uprising, this group of Philly-soul/protest-music pioneers consisted of Joe Jefferson, Major Harris, Ron Harper and Bill Spratley. Jefferson, the only surviving member of the group, gave his blessing for this release, which derives from tapes discovered in 2012 in the Sigma Sound Studio archive. The Nat Turner Rebellion signed to Philly Groove Records, but only issued a few singles; the rest of their many recordings were shelved, and unheard for decades. Last year, these long-lost treasures came out on a limited-edition release. Now, they come to newly mastered CD or vinyl: "Tribute to a Slave," "Fat Back," "Fruit of the Land," "Ruby Lee," "McBridge’s Daughter," the title track and more! Chrysalis.
