Ngozi Family99% Confusion ... LP
Zambia Music Parlour/Now Again, 1977. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 26.99
There's a bit of a new wave look to the cover, but the album's very much in the freaky, fuzzy, psych-influenced mode that we love from classic albums from the Ngozi Family – guitar-drenched sounds that are maybe some of the heaviest on the Zamrock scene of the time, and show this fantastic West African manifestation of the Jimi Hendrix legacy! The drums and basslines are as heavy as the guitars – and the vocals are often buried right down in the mix, which gives the lyrics a really sinister sort of vibe – almost beyond comprehension in a really cool way. Titles include "99% Confusion", "Stay With Me", "Poem Writer", "Tikonde Alendo", "My Little Girl Friend", and "Calling Every Body". LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes a deluxe booklet with photos!)

Ngozi FamilyDay Of Judgement ... CD
Now Again, 1976. New Copy ... $7.99 17.98
Some of the heaviest work to come from the African scene of the 70s – the initial offering of the Ngozi Family – a group who clearly take strong inspiration from the Cream years of the UK scene, but who also come across with a grittier, punkier vibe overall – thanks to lean, stripped-down instrumentation and some very sharp drums! The drums rattle out underneath the magnificent fuzzy guitar lines in the lead – almost with this compressed quality that recalls Thin Lizzy at their funkier moments – but much more raw, stripped-down, and unpolished – so that the English language lyrics burst out with a really biting sound! The record's one of the first in the Zamrock tradition, and is still one of the best – a set that deserves to be in any collection of hard rock, proto-punk, and even funk rock from the 70s. Titles include "I Wanna Know", "Day Of Judgement", "We Wonna Give It To Her", "Tikondane", and "Let Me Know". CD comes in a great book-style cover – and features the bonus tracks "We Were Not Told", "She Looks So Crazy", "I've Been Looking For You", and "Sunka Mulamu". CD

Ngozi FamilyHeavy Connection ... LP
Now Again, 1978. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 26.99
A fuzzed-out classic from Chris Zebby Tembo and the Ngozi Family – easily one of the freakiest groups working in the Zambian scene of the late 70s – and one that's finally getting some global respect all these many years later! The sound here has the group's trademark blend of swirling fuzz guitars and funky rhythms – the latter of which sometimes get a bit offbeat, but do more than enough to ground the group down at the bottom – while the other elements of their music get nicely expansive at the sides! Production is pretty weird, but in a great way – that unusual Zamrock approach that can really make things sound all dark and moody overall. Titles include "Bells Of Death", "I Shot Her", "Rossie", "Worried Man", "Born Black", "Bye Father", and "Babe Come Back". LP, Vinyl record album

VariousWelcome To Zamrock 2 – How Zambia's Liberation Led To A Rock Revolution 1972 to 1977 (with booklet & download) ... LP
Now Again, Mid 70s. New Copy 2LP ... $25.99 29.99
Fantastic sounds for fans of funk and rock alike – music from the freaky, fuzzy 70s scene in Zambia – a place where styles effortlessly criss-crossed to really produce something new and unique! The work here is often heavy on fuzz guitars, but also has some wickedly soulful basslines and drums – so that although the tunes can be psych-styled, they're also pretty darn funky too – often at a level that's a bit like the Nigerian Afro Funk of the time, but much grittier and more righteous! The quality of the music and scene is explored in depth in the package – which includes a very detailed booklet of notes and photos – all to support the selection of music, which may well be the hippest so far from the Now Again label – and that's really saying a lot, if you know their other titles! Titles on volume 2 include "Really" by Crossbones, "History Of Man" by Amanaz, "Poor Man" by Five Revolutions, "Hold On" by Ngozi Family, "Katonga" by Musi-O-Tunya, "Request To God" by Oscillations, "Mpundu" by Tinkles, "Otenta" by Dr Footswitch, "Mad Man" by Born Free, "SM" by Mike Nyoni, "Hot Do" by Jesper Siliya Lungu, "I'm Not Made Of Iron" by Chrissy Zebby Tembo, "Umbwalwa Ne Chamba" by Peace, "Umwana Wakusanga Mung'Anda" by Fire Balls, and "See The Storm" by Salty Dog.
