MUSIC AND RHYTHMS OF AFRICA VOL 2

Simeon Allen blogged the following:
"I recently came across this double disc gatefold 45 and was struck by how eclectic the eight tracks were on the compilation.
The first four cover what has been termed "traditional" music and the remaining are a number of vocal jive and
kwela hits from around 1958. It is the "traditional" music that I found most striking, especially the tracks by Veshna Dinaka
which, to my ear, come across as quite dissonant and sound remarkably contemporary and almost avant-garde.
Likewise the two tunes featuring autoharp or dipela are equally arresting.

The second disc couldn't be more of a contrast opening with the jazzy vocal number, Thimela, composed by Elijah Nkwanyane
and performed by Philemon Mokgosi and his Inkspots. (I believe Nkwanyane is on trumpet.)
What follows must be one of the first recordings by the Dark City Sisters, Bra-Cabbage, penned by Rupert Bopape
and accompanied by the pennywhistle group Black Mambazo (not LBM). Interestingly the liner notes reveal that
the Dark City Sisters recorded this tune "spontaneously" after they just happened to come with their "boy-friends",
the members of Black Mambazo, to the studio that day."

Absolutely perfect in every way. Never been played, possibly even still sealed.

A nearly perfect record. The record should show no obvious signs of wear.

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+)
A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.
Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience.
Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK.

VERY GOOD (VG)
Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc.
Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise.
Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.
