King Kobra - Limbo Carnival (LP)

King Kobra and The Venoms showcasing a string of funky calypso and limbo joints. I personally liked Keep Your Head Low and BWI Express. Record with some marks, plays well, cover has tear.

King Sunny Ade & His African Beats - Aura (LP)
Island 206 418-320, 1984 Germany
Nothing rare but these King Sunny Ade records are really worthwhile if you dig synthy sounding afro beat. Start with Ase but Ogunja and Oremi are great too. Soft hairlines but playback not affected.

King Sunny Ade - Synchro System (LP)
Island 205 546, 1983 Germany
Back in stock! The king of Ju Ju on a recording from 83 with huge potential. Synchro Feelings Ilako is a great mid-tempo afrobeat spin. Nice copy with faint surface wear to disc but completely inaudible.
