Legendary original KPM press of the classic. Has even been reissued by KPM - this is the original. Vinyl looks like never been played!
Review: "Probably the most well known and well loved KPM of all time, "Afro Rock" has at least a dozen tracks that qualify as being classics in the library music field. Any collaboration between John Cameron and Alan Parker is a match made in heaven and you can sense the chemistry these two have in the studio, this is exemplified by the creativity that courses throughout each track. Despite the title there is hardly anything "rock" about this collection ( aside from the opener "Heavy Water" ) and the only relation it has to afro is in some of the percussion. In reality the record is more jazz and funk inspired but tracks like "Heat Haze" and "Swamp Fever" defy such labels and this is one of the reasons why they are so intriguing. I can't look past "Punch Bowl" in terms of funky brilliance, I must have played this song hundreds of times over the years and still love it just as much today. The version here is slightly longer than the one featured on "Sound Gallery Vol.1".
Simply put, you cannot have a collection of KPM's or library music in general without "Afro Rock" being a part of it. It's a truly magnificent album. Please note - there are some audio problems with Track 13 "Rocking Rhino", on the plus side it's probably the weakest track but I will endeavour to find a copy of the song and post it here ( any help would be most appreciated ). Many of these songs can be found on the wonderful "Setting The Scene: From The Vaults Of KPM" compilation."
