K Frimpong & Super Complex Sounds - Ahyewa Special
K Frimpong Backed By Vis-à-Vis
Two of the best West African albums, both of which were reissued last year on the amazing Hot Casa label. The first is a bit more traditional Ghanaian highlife while the second is a bit funkier; both are wonderful.
So I'm delving into The Dead for the first time really. I've listened here and there, but never took my time with any of their albums. Picked this one up along with Workingman's Dead after all the talk about how great these reissues sound. Well, this does sound pretty fantastic.
Peter Ind - Looking Out (Wave, 1969 Mono Pressing)
I love this album, its just fantastic laid-back jazz. Peter Ind is still active at 92 years of age and recently set up an instagram and youtube account.
Finally continuing to listen to my Christmas gifts. REO was my first real concert (in 2015), and damn, what a great show! This is the Walmart exclusive press of their greatest hits record, on this very nice clear with black and white splatter vinyl. Classic after classic on this one!
