KING KHAN - America Goddamn 7" (colour vinyl)

Goddamn indeed., America. We stay out of politics and, as tempting as it is to comment on the U.S election cycle, here's King Khan himself talking about how these tracks came to be included on the soundtrack of The Invaders.

Limited edition orange colour vinyl.

“When I found out that John B. Smith, the founding member and leader of the Invaders asked the director of the film, Prichard Smith, for me to do the soundtrack, I was floored. Here is a man whose militant black power group impressed MLK so much that he had personal meetings with him about how to get the militant civil rights groups into the poor people’s campaign! This was just the beginning… John B. adopted Prichard and I into his family and treated us like sons. Making the soundtrack for this film felt like a call to arms, especially considering what is going on now involving the police and race relations all over the U.S. The fact that it has taken so long for The Invaders tale to be told just goes to show you how the powers that be are as evil and crooked as 50 years ago. The struggle is the same and so I chose message music as my weapon, may it soothe your ears as much as light a fire under the collective ass that is pulling the strings. ” – King “Bama Lama” Khan
