{"product_id":"richard-pryor","title":"Richard Pryor","description":"\u003cp\u003eExpanded edition of legendary comic’s landmark debut. Bonus tracks include outtakes and sketches originally left off the release. New liner notes from Scott Saul, author of Becoming Richard Pryor, and released with full cooperation from the Richard Pryor Estate. “What you hold in your hands is something precious: both the landmark debut that was, and the piece of cultural dynamite that might have been. In its original form, Richard Pryor alerted the world that Pryor had stepped out of Bill Cosby’s long shadow and developed a style—surreal, nervy, improvisational—that was all his own.” From the liner notes by Scott Saul(Becoming Richard Pryor). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally released in 1968, Richard Pryo’s cover art (shot by legendary photographer Henry Diltz) should have been enough to let the buyer know this was not your average comedy release. Pryor was at a career crossroads that year, when the earliest tracks for the release were recorded at the Troubadour in West Hollywood. He’d already become a regular on The Merv Griffin Show and The Ed Sullivan Show, and was signed to the same agency that handled The Beatles and The Supremes. But it wasn’t just his love of artistic freedom that pulled him toward what many looked at as defiance. Pryor wanted to not only change comedy, but how we look at ourselves and those around us. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCD - Richard Pryors original 8 tracks make up disc one of this new edition, while the second disc contains 21 tracks from the out-of-print Evolution \/ Revolution: The Early Years (1966-1974) collection - originally compiled by producers Reggie Collins and Steve Pokorny, the former of whom helms this new set along with Jennifer Lee Pryor and Grammy®-winning producer, Cheryl Pawelski. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stand Up!
