Now also on vinyl! Great compilation from this band from Zimbabwe, which was called Rhodesia when the songs were recorded there between 1974 and 1979. This band was originally set up to entertain the workers at the Mangura copper mine. A must for fans of southern African music, and a great insight into the early career of Thomas Mapfumo, who was with them for most of their first year. A mix of Afro-rock, rumba, cha-cha-cha and soul covers. This is the band that modernised Zimbabwean music, and by doing so revolutionised the music industry in their country. Remastered by Nick Robbins. Originally released in 2006 on CD only.
Also available: TAKE ONE (CD).
