Wanted to post this LP way earlier, however because of
a disturbing series of ticks and tacks straight from the
beginning, I posponed it a couple of times. Today I decided
to post it anyway and fade start past the disturbance. You
must know that we miss a couple of tones consequently.
It's a shame our Thomas kept his handkerchief wrapped
around his microphone, other than that it sounds cristal clear.
Still, worth a couple of spins, I leave you with this 'chimurenga'
from Zimbabwe which we didn't have for quite some time.
tracks;
1 Hwahwa
2 Murambadoro
3 Chitima nditakure
4 Chamunorwa
5 Hurukuro
6 Nyama yekugocha

thanks for this! some of my all time favorite music!
One of my favorite albums of all time. This one sounds a little different from the version I have. Thanks so much.
hi moos,
I have a pristine, never-played copy of this record. I'll check it to see if the sound is any better, and let you know. I've had a technical issue holding up my recording/posting, but that should be resolved in a week or so.
Cheers, and as always, thanks.
Robert
MANY,MANY THANKS!!!
MF links are kind of a blessing :)
Hey Moos: I see the parasites over at Congo na Biso have started deleting our comments! Har!
PS. I have this one on CD. I'd be happy to rip and upload it for you.
thank you very very much moos for your global groovers. this is my all time favourite blog on the web
Hah! I have it on CD also (Mango) and so probably will not digitize my Zimbabwe pressing. Should have checked!
