Osibisa - Woyaya (LP)
MCA Records MAPS 5617, 1971 Germany
Underrated debut release by Osibisa that is well funky throughout. My favorites here are Move On and Rabiatu. Original 1st pressing with stunning gatefold cover.

Private pressed Highlife album out of the UK holding a few decent boogie instrumentals. My favorites is the Adom Tomorrow with great potential in my ears. Reduced price item due to marks and scuffs causing occasional ...

The Real Bahamas Volume II (LP)
Nonesuch H-72078, 1978 United States
All chilled and laidback, mainly accapella tracks. I have a soft spot for the tune Kneeling Down Inside The Gate. Fascinating to explore the roots of rhythm & blues. Copy has got a sizeable stamp on label and cover, p...

Various - This Is Soca (LP)
London LONDP 43 , 1987 United Kingdom

Hugh Masekela - Waiting For The Rain (LP)
Jive 6.26155 BL, 1985 Germany
I am personally a huge fan of Masekela and despite this not being a rare pick there a handful of worthwhile tracks on here. Lots of jazzy / funky groovers but I opted for the boogie vibes on Run No More that is a grea...

Miriam Makeba - African Convention (LP)
Pläne 88 199, 1980 Germany
Thinking back just how often I have passed on this album while diggin in Germany is a joke. Despite the later recording date there are 2-3 good cuts here and a huge groover in Chicken (Kikirikki) with potential to be ...

Black Blood - Chicano / Rastiferia (7")
Mainstream MRL 5574 , 1975 United States
The rarest Black Blood 45 on US Mainstream. This pressing has Rastiferia on the flip which is the better cut in my books.

Manu Dibango - Soul Makossa (7")
Decca DL 25 585, 1973 Germany

Safari Sound Band - Best Of African Songs (LP)
African Safari Club, 1984 Germany
Mainly an all afrobeat affair, two tracks stand out, the disco fun on Karibuni Kenya and heavy drum driven Kenya Safari. Both are great. Stunning EX+ copy that could easily pass for NM.

Miriam Makeba - Iphi Ndilela (7")

Essential slice of Makeba! Afro breakbeat drum intro turns jazzy midtempo vocal groover and then she brings the break back into play. Nice one! Bob Dylan cover on the flip.
