And this...

Mandrill form 1975....One of my favourite Mandrill LP's specially
the whole of Side 2...could do with a CD release really.
I know its been posted before here and there but maybe not lossless.
My LP was ripped for me a while ago by a friend on one of those
CD Recorders that were out a number of years ago.
Ripped in 16/44 WAV I think It's decent sounding.
Please give the thumbs up in the comments if you happen to DL.

Thanks & Enjoy......New Link !

MANU DIBANGO - SOUL MAKOSSA ( VERSION ORIGINALE ???)




































Manu's Soul Makossa appeared in various guises from 1972 - 1973
as 'Soul Makossa' or 'O'Boso' depending on Label and Country of
release and all labelled as 'Version Originale' or 'Original Version'.
LP's seem to have had a core of 5 tracks and depending on whether
O'boso or Soul Makossa, 1or 2 more tracks. 'Wildman in The City' &
'Ngosso' off  O'boso and 'Lily' off Soul Makossa....neither appearing
on the other......Except for the 1973 Decca German release:

http://www.discogs.com/Manu-Dibango-Soul-Makossa/release/1368664

which featured all 9 Tracks from the variations.
This LP is the one I sought and purchased but have not yet Digitized.
Instead I present from my CD collection the 1994 French Musidisc
release of Soul Makossa in WAV plus the 2 missing tracks from O'Boso
'Wildman In The City' & 'Ngosso' (2 Of My Fav's ! in 24/96 courtesy
of a High Res LP Rip) to complete the 9 tracks from this period of
'Version Originale'
Original LP covers can be found at Discogs
This was posted a few years ago on 'Flabbergast's' blog but I think the
links have expired.
PLEASE leave a small comment....It only takes a few seconds, make it worthwhile!

Enjoy...

SORRY BACK SOON.....


After 'The Wailers' Concert in Manchester on 28th Sept. spent a week on the Red Sea,
on return my Appendix decided it was time to cause me misery...of which it did a fine job
2 Hospital weeks later after developing an infection etc...I am now back home somewhat weaker but
glad to be in the presence of my Music collection which I'm sure will contribute to my recovery.
First track I wanted to hear on arrival home (Prob due to the fact my Locum from Nigeria who was a fan of Fela Kuti resembled Manu and took good care of me Thanks Emanuel !) was Manu Dibango's 'Besoka on Salsa'...great stuff !
Sorry to Bore you....will post some Music ASAP!

O' MY LOVE



 



















Can't find it out there and never on CD
Thijs Van Leer (Focus) from 1975....Hard to classify,suitably
off-kilter LP in a typical Thijs way.
I like 'Jazz Funk Folk'....call it what you will I love this album
from start to finish, great late at night with some aural
enhancing goodies..
Some nice Rhodes Piano on most tracks....Musicians include
Wilton felder,James Gadson,Victor Feldman,Paul Buckmaster,
King Errison etc...Thijs and his wife Rosie share vocals duties
on a few tracks with some 'stoned' lyrics.
I do own this LP but this is not my rip hence the Low Bitrate.
Still its a chance to sample the music, plus i think you can pick
this up for not much £ or $
So thanks to the original uploader .....whom ever that maybe
as have had it for years.

My Fav Track, The Jazz Funk of : Blue Windmill

Be Quick,

Enjoy The Gleeman Tonight and say 'Hi' !
