A new reissue titled "The Revolution Begins" gathers Gil Scott-Heron's recordings for the Flying Dutchman label, released via Ace Records as part of its ongoing reissue series. The review argues this fills a long-standing gap, as previous editions of Scott-Heron's classic works were often poorly produced or badly digitised, failing to do justice to his influential blend of jazz, funk, poetry and political protest.

The three-disc set collects everything Scott-Heron recorded for Bob Thiele's Flying Dutchman label, remastered from the original masters and featuring tracks such as "Lady Day and John Coltrane", "Home Is Where The Hatred Is" and "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised", alongside additional tracks and alternate takes. The reviewer highlights "Home Is Where The Hatred Is" as the standout and gives the collection a glowing verdict, calling it the definitive way to experience this era of Scott-Heron's work. The album was released on 28 August 2026.
