Stunning near mint RCA original of what I rate as one of the greatest afro funk records around with Advice From Fatcher, Ku Ka Maria and the breakbeat funk favorite Karam Bani. Bernhard Purdie joining the fun and abso...

If you only want to own one steelband funk album, this is the one to grab. Theme From Shaft, Heaven & Hell, Love's Theme, Papa Was A Rolling Stone. The list is long....

Joe Bataan caribbean disco project that I rate highly thanks to the dancefloor friendly version of Stevie's Another Star and the Fania salsa heat in Puerto Rico Me Llama. US original with vinyl in perfect condition, c...

Essential record from Manu with his hard hitting Soul Makossa and superb mellow afro jazz tracks Hibiscus and Dangwa. This copy has got lots of marks, scuffs, lines but plays overall really well. Listen to New Bell an...

Steelband funk with a solid club track Watu Cada and a decent cover of Watermelon Man. Super clean vinyl, cover with small tear to upper right hand cover.

What a record, tons of psychedelic afro and junkanoo breaks perfectly hidden behind a cheesecake cover. Pretty hard to find item as well in solid VG+ condition. Don't sleep on this, we likely won't have another copy a...

Another killer album by famous Nigerian percusionist Guem. You know the deal when Guem gets busy, it is back to back percussion breaks. French original with only the lightest of scuffs.

Fantastic album packed with breaks. Mid tempo to the extremely fast percussion battles. Pretty hard to find item with near perfect vinyl, cover has got a tear on both front and back.

As the title suggest there is plenty of drums on this private pressing blending afro funk and highlife. It holds a good handful of tracks with drum breaks that could be useful in the right hands and another handful of...

If you like the type african music played at street corners of the townships in South Africa this is the real deal. Nothing for the clubs here but just a great record exploring the roots of afrobeat, ju ju, hi life...

The king of Ju Ju on a recording from 83 with huge potential. Synchro Feelings Ilako is a great mid-tempo afrobeat spin. UK original in near perfect condition.

Only recording by Fortune Bracieux which is a real shame judging by the outcome. Excellent mix of zouk and dancefloor friendly afrobeat. Check out a snippet of Maco Maco and you will know what I am talking about. Fren...

Georges Decimus teams up with the Kassav crew for some off the radar cosmic afrobeat that builds nicely.

Soca compilation with the hits of 87 that includes a really good second record with David Rudder & Charlies Roots. My pick here is Scrunter with She Wants Me To Sing In The Party for a idea of how this record sounds. ...

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...

Mega rare Jamaican recording from Lord Lebby who played a mixture of R&B and Calypso. Original copy with lovely shine however a inaudible line over part of side two. It does not affect play.

Very early Kingston recording on Dynamic. I believe one of their first releases, number 004. Includes the excellent Jamaica Farewell that was comped on the Trojan Sunshine compilation a few years back and a great vers...

Top item here from Johnny Nash that brilliantly blends reggae and soul. Love his version of Sam Cooke's Cubid. Love Me Tight and Groovin' are fine pieces as well. Near mint vinyl, cover with a few dents but overall l...

Essential and rare rocksteady from Toots & The Maytals that will appeal to fans of reggae but also soul and breakbeat collectors as it holds pretty much all of their sampled tracks including 54-56 Was My Number, Monke...

Founder of the Wailers with Pete Tosh and Bob Marley on a very worthwhile solo tip. Who Feels It and his excellent version of Get Up Stand Up are my favorites but overall a quality listen. Second pressing on Island / ...
