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.

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.

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.

Private pressed Highlife album out of the UK holding a few decent boogie instrumentals. My favorites is the Adom Tomorrow with great potential in my ears. Reduced price item due to marks and scuffs causing occasional ...

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...

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. ...

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

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...

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 ...

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.

Top choice DJ item with dancefloor friendly tunes throughout. Caribbean, African, Brazilian grooves from the likes of Jorge Ben, The Exotics or Burundi Steiphenson Black pave the way.

Amazing afro cuban breaks and beats by famous exotica percussionist Leon Johnson. Cheapo copy with most of side 1 scratched badly whereas the better side 2 is clean EX. Great album at a ridiculos price.

If you dig your steel drum action on the fast lane this is a recommended pick with the percussion heavy Bongo Night that takes off completely. Estaa Cubana is also good with rest of the album mostly cover versions of ...

Record here has a Afro Pop stamp on the cover and that is pretty much what is in store but the tracks Siyayilanda and Shake My Way does have a funky afrobeat vibe to them making the album worthwhile. Flawless EX copy ...

Great live setting by this famous South African powerhouse of rhythm. Brilliant version of State Of Emergency that would fit tribal house and disco mixes perfectly while Sukulila is also really funky. Like new copy wi...

Not at all rare but a solid album with particular the single output Mambo Bado a real treat for the floor. Also like the midtempo ;ke Wangu with great drum and guitar work. Record in lovely EX shape, cover has tear.

This King Sunny Ade & His African Beat album really pulls you in. Hypnotic brilliance...! Soft marks but great playback and audible grade is EX, cover has sticker tear.

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.

Bill Laswell giving the Dibango classic a '87 feel. You also get a handful of credible afrobeat and dub tracks.

Unqiue mix of afro, roots and rock-steady vibes on this Toure Kunda classic from '85. Check Santhiaba Silo for an idea of the musical direction that is a little different to their earlier albums. Soild EX copy with st...
