CBS/Afro 7 (Estonia), Early 80s. New Copy ... $19.99
A set of rare tracks from the vaults of CBS Records in Kenya – tunes that really show a nicely complex approach to the groove!

Cree (Germany), Early 80s. New Copy (pic cover)... $19.99 24.99
Rare Caribbean grooves, remixed with just a slight dose of contemporary elements – yet still sounding very much like the warm originals that the Cree label has been uncovering over the years!
