Based in the UK, BGP is a soul, funk and jazz dance reissue label. The name BGP is derived from Beat Goes Public. Originally headed by DJs Baz Fe Jazz and Gilles Peterson, the label saw a change in leadership in the early 1990s when Russ Dewbury took over. Currently, Dean Rudland serves as the label head.

BGP has gained recognition for its reissues of classic soul, funk and jazz dance music. With a focus on preserving and reintroducing timeless tracks to modern audiences, BGP has become an authoritative voice in the genre.

With its impressive catalog of releases, BGP offers music enthusiasts a chance to explore and appreciate the rich history of soul, funk and jazz dance. Whether you're a seasoned fan or new to these genres, BGP provides an extensive collection that will satisfy your musical cravings.

Liberation Music looks at the Flying Dutchman label's first five years, through its jazz and spoken word releases. This exciting and revolutionary label was launched in 1969 by producer Bob Thiele, after he left the Impulse label where he produced John Coltrane. BGP feature tracks by Gil Scott-Heron, Lonnie Liston Smith, Leon Thomas and Gato Barbieri. In addition to The Revolution Will Not Be Televised Scott-Heron is on backing vocals with Black and Blues, the group he formed in college with Brian Jackson and Victor Brown. A Toast To The People later recorded by Gil &amp; Brian on their South Africa To South Carolina album is previously unreleased from their only ever recording session as a group. There are many tracks that have never before been reissued including those by Chico Hamilton, Oliver Nelson and Horace Tapscott whose The Giant Is Awakened comes from his highly sought after Flying Dutchman album. Bob Thiele is featured as an artist (named Bob Thiele Emergency), with a tribute to his friend John Coltrane; Ornette Coleman appears with a warped take on funk, Friends and Neighbors . BGP also look at the label s championing of political causes with excerpts from spoken word releases by Angela Davis; leader of the Student Nonviolent Co-ordinating Committee (SNCC) H Rap Brown, and two tracks created by a collabor-ation between jazz arranger Oliver Nelson and Carl B Stokes. Stokes, the first black Mayor of a major American city, was also the first person to perform a Gil Scott-Heron lyric on record with his version of Paint It Black , reissued here for the first time.
