Now at #35 in the long running informative 'Northern Connections' series by @Kenb.
Northern Connections # 35 - Child Of Friendship, Train Robbers
The eagle-eyed amongst you will have spotted two different addresses on the 2 versions of Natural Records 1516. 1516 25th Ave versus 1510 16th St. The latter being a small room and the location for Black Unity, Inc-at least from 1971 to 1974. Black Unity, Inc was incorporated in 1967 and was essentially founded to raise the political consciousness of black people through education. Whether this 'room' at 1510 16th St was vacated before the (apparent) release date and therefore has nothing to do with Black Unity, Inc. - OR - whether the release date is inaccurate (perhaps earlier than 1976) and it does have a Black Unity, Inc connection? I don't know.
