This is one of the greatest 45s I have discovered this year. UK only release on President, it never shows up for sale and it just is a killer track. Eddy Grant production from 1967 with some nice ska crossover influen...

This year is still very much young but I think this will be a contender for best find in 2014 nonetheless. What a blasting piece to drop out and potentially cue in with Saleb Ragab's Amber Of The Nile. Released on the...

Ultra rare Kenyan jazz single on the collectable AIT label. Both sides are rocking with tempo change and jazzy breaks all over the place. Heavy vinyl in VG+ condition, lightest noice at intro turns but overall a great...

Wonderful jazzy highlife double sider on impossible to find Nigerian original released on the collectable Phillips sister label West African records. If you like authentic grooves you likely only see ones, this is a t...

Backing band of the mighty Chief Stephen Osita Osadebe with two massive ethno jazz tunes here on super rare West African Records. Decent VG copy with some distortion but still a good listen. Mega rare 45 that we will ...

Impossibly rare Juju double sider by Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey and His International Brothers paying dues to Benjamin Adekunle. Top quality highlife Ori Bayemi on the flipside. UK original from 1968 in VG+ conditi...

Über rare 45 on one of the very first labels set up in Kenya. Guitar driven highlife with a warm soundscape and Swahili vocals. Strong VG+ condition, almost EX which is unusual for a an early sixties African record. L...

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.

Coolest Kenyan Rumba and Soro laid down by Gaby Omolo and The Eagles. Very popular style on very rare pressing on Afrian Eagles Recording out of Nairobi. Keep Change on the flip. Faintest marks, plays EX.

Impossible to find discofied afrobeat only ever released in the Netherlands. Produced by famous South African studio head Billy Forest. VG+ condition wax with some inaudible lines, cover looks pretty dirty but is inta...

Such a great item. Laughing Sam is packed with huge breaks and Afrodisiac such a hypnotic afro funk spin. Very clean copy with vinyl bordering near mint. Light creasing to cover.

Pioneering jazz unit famous for introducing congo / rumba / meregue into West Africa and consequently paving a new musical direction. This is one of the rarest Dansons avec Le Ry-Co Jazz EPs and should sit well with f...

Flipside to the frequently comped Msichana Omari but this track is much better and so much harder to come by as single only release on Equator Records. Grooves slightly dirty and a few marks but plays solid VG+ throug...

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.

Excellent dancefloor track by famous Congolese band leader residing and recording a lifetime in Kenya. I can not help thinking of how this style must have inspired early Soukous. Two great sides that would also fit a ...

Mr. Calypso himself with a guaranteed dancefloor winner. Super rare pick on 45. To my knowledge this only had a German release as single. VG/VG- copy with marks and some light noice plus occasional click, check soundc...

Ultra rare private pressing with killer tropical funk. Both sides are winners and if you like records not readily available this is a perfect pick. Creasing and tear to cover, record is clean EX but pressing causing l...

Super rare single only release by the Cuban Marimba Band here led by Juma Kilaza. Groovy guitar work and Kiswahili vocals on both sides. Record is clean NM but african pressing so little background noice.

Great pick for disco heads and a hard find Kenyan original. Flipside with He Nana He is pretty funky too. Clean record and labels, could pass for NM. Fitted in company sleeve.

Rare early Highlife or Fanti as this style is sometimes refered to on Philips West African records. First time to cross paths with Ambassador Golden Eagles but I guess it was a dance big band from Ghana. Certainly has...
