Long-awaited vinyl reissue of Alarm Clock, first released in December of 1970 and one of Richie Havens' most iconic albums, unavailable on vinyl for decades! Deluxe 180g reissue - galaxy effect coloured vinyl - limited edition - includes 2 never before released bonus tracks.
Recorded amidst the Vietnam War's turmoil and the tragic Kent State shootings of 1970, Alarm Clock was Havens' urgent wake-up call to a generation - a powerful warning against an overreaching government.
This reissue includes two never-before-released tracks: 'Nobody Knows', recorded during the same sessions, and a deeply moving rendition of Graham Nash's 'Military Madness'.
A testament to Havens' artistic integrity and commitment to social justice, Alarm Clock remains a timeless masterpiece.
"Alarm Clock was just as the title suggested: a warning.
It was also one of the few times I have used a song's title to name one of my albums.
Alarm Clock was being made in the context of the Vietnam War that was still raging.
Four students protesting the war had been shot dead in May 1970 on the Kent State University campus in Ohio.
Large crowds were gathering in many cities, pleading for the end to America's involvement, but the administration did not care about anything the public seemed to feel.
The war would go on, regardless of public sentiment.
We were seeing our government step way over bounds.
Alarm Clock felt like a warning to awaken." - Richie Havens
