【再入荷！】Theo Parrishがパワー・プレイしたりKenny Dopeがネタで使用したりで大人気のアフロ・クラシック「Advice From Father」を収録した1975年の人気アルバムが正規復刻！中古市場では1万円前後の高値で取引されているレア盤なのでこれは嬉しい！アルバム全体的にイイ曲満載です！しかも今回は180g重量盤！ A1 Karam Bani 4:27A2 Them Yebtheyet 5:12A3 Ku Ka Maria 2:45A4 Advice From Father 5:46B1 Iro Le Pa 4:55B2 Ye Koaba 4:27B3 Peace 3:00B4 Oh! Africa 5:37 A surefire Afro-Funk classic, long treasured by collectors across the globe, the fantastic self-titled LP from Ghanaian singing/percussion sensation Sidiku Buari nevertheless remains a criminally hard-to find gem. We’re honoured to present the first ever officially licensed vinyl reissue of this undoubted masterpiece.Originally released on RCA in 1975, this is, quite simply, a ridiculous record. This super-rare album boasts an all-star cast of top funk instrumentalists playing alongside Buari as he blends heavy African rhythms with American soul-funk grooves. The arrangements and the playing are incredibly tight and the album is stacked with killer tracks including “Advice From Father” (sampled brilliantly by Kenny Dope) and “Ku Ka Maria”, with its intense, neck-snapping breaks and funky drumming from legend Bernard ‘Pretty’ Purdie. Purdie is in the pocket for the entirety of this stunning LP - the drumming is just straight out of hand; so varied yet so precise.It’s not hard to fathom why these tracks have always been huge on the b-boy/breaking scene. Other standouts include the wonderful disco-tinged afro monsters “Karam Bani” and “Iro Le Pa” plus the cool laidback groove of “Them Yebtheyet”.With access to the original analogue tape transfers, the stellar mastering by Simon Francis elevates the sound throughout and, as ever, it has been pressed at a reassuringly weighty 180g.
