    Leon Thomas It's My Life I'm Fighting For / Shape Your Mind To Die

    Flying Dutchman
    • Leon Thomas – It's My Life I'm Fighting For
    • 1. It's My Life I'm Fighting For
    • 2. Shape Your Mind To Die

    The full 10 minute version of Leon Thomas's spiritual jazz dance classic from his 1973 album "Full Circle"! The flip sees his vocals underpinned by a driving bassline and modal, eastern sounding soprano sax recorded a year earlier. Amazing stuff!
