    King GIzzard played the Coffee Cola song before their show here in Vancouver last month. We loved it and here we are, owners of this.
    Beautiful, thick vinyl, heavy stock printed inners (with more boobies). Awesome tunes and packaging.

      Is there a better example of a counter-history of electronic pop music than this? I think not.

        Really appreciate Francis Bebey and the legacy he's left behind. AEM 1975-1982 provides a wonderful historical account of his musical innovation and the formation of Cameroonian afrobeat.

            Sizzling hot African FONK that will certainly get you boogieing, however make sure your mam does not see the front cover as it does have boobies on it and this could get you in a lot of trouble!!

                Don't pay over the odds. You can still buy this direct from the label for £15

                  Super Jingle is an erternal classic, next to proto house. And the rest of this package is also superbmodern afrobeat. The whole appearance of this compilation is nicest and worthy.

                      Great compilation. Sound quality is fantastic and inner sleeve notes are a nice touch.
