Disposable (UK), Mid 70s. New Copy
Rare Pakistani grooves from the Tafo Brothers -- recorded in the EMI studios of the 70s, and done with a groove that's similar to some of the Lollywood soundtrack reissues on Finders Keepers! The style here is a bit sparer than those soundtracks though -- just instrumental work, but using a
