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.

Always had a soft spot for this soca disco release with its fine blend of funk and cosmic africa. Disco Reggae always sounds good in my ears. Nothing rare here but good! US original with cut corner, tiny tear and very...

Gillespie Y Machito - Afro-Cuban Jazz (LP)
Pablo OJC 447, 1976 Germany
What an excellent collaboration, Birk, Machito and Chico. The 15 min of Afro Cuban experimental jazz on Oro Incienso Y Mirra is a incredible piece of music. German pressing in stunning condition.

Somo Somo - Somo Somo (LP)
Stern's Africa STERNS 1007, 1985 United Kingdom
Great afrobeat from Zaire. If you like some of the Mali groups like the Rail Band or Orchestre National A this album is very similar in style. Top condition.

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.

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...

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 ...

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.
