AFRA SOUND STARS - SAME:
80s afro pop LP out of Angola. Check the 2nd part of "Landidila joana" on the clip, which could stand out in a DJ set with it's spacy synths and sparse groove. There is also a funky drum loop on the intro of "Senhora" worth checking out for those into chopping drums up. Cover has ringwear, small tear on back plus three strips of clear tape near opening edge on both front and back.

FELA KUTI - SORROW TEARS AND BLOOD:
Classic afrobeat album with two superb tunes divided on side each. Nigerian original on Kalakuta, unfortunatly this copy looks pretty beaten up but playback is way better than it looks.

There are a few smaller tears on opening edge and another small tear on back too.
