The first ever full-length release from Nat Turner Rebellion - a Philly Soul and R&B group that broke up before their first LP could be completed. Laugh to Keep From Crying compiles the groups sought after singles (which are sought after collector's items) and a wealth of never-released material sitting in vaults in Pennsylvania since the early '70s. As a group on the forefront of the Philly Soul explosion of the 1970s and the backend of the Black Power movement of the late 1960s, they were tapped into being part of the revolutionary soul music movement, both with their works and their invoking the original Nat Turner Rebellion, and this album is their long overdue first dispatch.
