Caught In A Land of Time by Freedom of Soul was most likely released today in 1991, though I have the 31st as well. An incredible hip hop album that I should have spun more when I was a kid.

9: ETCHING OR SCREEN PRINTED B-SIDE - Damien Jurado's Four Songs EP

A very cool essay & illustration etched into the B side of this one, a first person account of how the narrator “flies birds” (paper airplanes I think), a very folk tale inclusion that fits well in Jurado’s lane.
