Atco, 1972. Near Mint- ... $34.99
Forget what you think about Ginger Baker, this one's really more of a Fela album – as it was recorded in London during the time when Fela and Ginger Baker were hanging out together!

Ceylieb People —
Tanyet ... LP Vault, Late 60s. Near Mint- ... $19.99
An incredible album of Eastern instrumentation and funky rock breaks – served up as one of the headiest studio sessions to come from the LA scene of the late 60s! The Ceylieb People work in the same territory as Devil's Anvil or The Orient Express – a blend of fuzzy psychedelia with ... (Rock, Global Grooves) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Mainstream, Early 70s. Sealed Gatefold ... $16.99
A sweet album of soulful jazz from trumpeter Johnny Coles – a wondeful talent who made a rare few albums as a leader! The record is quite different than Coles' earlier work for Epic and Blue Note – in that it's got the slightly electrified Mainstream sound of the 70s firmly in place ...

Dynamic Sounds/Soul Jazz (UK), 1975. Sealed 2LP ... $19.99
One of the hippest sets ever issued during the roots reggae wave of the 70s – and one of the most spiritual, too! The album's got a very special acoustic vibe at the core – earthy drumming that goes back to a pan-African tradition, these beautiful acoustic basslines that link the music ...

Wild Flower (Jamaica), 1974. Near Mint- ... $19.99

Sahinler (Turkey), 1977. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $24.99
Funky Turkish rock from the enigmatic Ersen – an artist we'd rank right up there with Erkin Koray and Selda for choppy grooves and offbeat music!

Eurobond/Kalakuta, 1989. Near Mint- ... $49.99

Herbie Hancock & Foday Musa Suso —
Village Life ... LP Columbia, 1985. Near Mint- ... $9.99
An early world music/jazz collaboration production from Bill Laswell, a format he'd return to again and again in later years. For the most part, the tunes seem to be excursions on Musa Suso's native Gambian rhythms, plucked out as gentle arpeggios on the Kora, with Herbie's subtle keys and synths ...
