Afrian Eagles ER 7-14, 197? Kenya
Hidden as flipside to Gaby Omolo's biggest hitter Lunch Time the track Tutakula Aya Ajabu is such a hypnotic Swahili groove but still uptempo enough to work the floor. Rare Kenyan original in lovely EX shape.

Decca 45 GWA 4083, 1963 United Kingdom
Hard to find Decca 7" release from 1963 of what I would rate as one of ET Mensah's best. Both sides are GREAT and the jazzy Abele even holds some cracking drum work. Great condition with light superficial wear.
