- Olatunji, Babatunde-Zungo!- LP- mono-Columbia CL 1634 - 1961 33 1/3 RPM LP release by Nigerian drummer and vocalist, Babatunde Olatunji. For this album (his 1st US LP), a large cast of musicians was assembled, including 13 vocalists, a 7-piece Jazz combo (Yusef Lateef, Clark Terry, Jimmy Nottingham, etc), and six percussionists (Montigo Joe, Ray Barretto, etc). Tracks include: 1) "Masque Dance" 2) "Zungo" 3) "Philistine." Sound of LP is a mix of pure Nigerian highlife, Afro-Cuban, and Jazz-flavored pieces, all topped by Olatunji's magnificent drumming. Cover (promo stamp in ink on back cover) is clean with slight ringwear. We have neatly repaired two seam splits at the top and bottom right. Disc (heavy vinyl-red "6-eye" label characteristic of a 1st pressing-both sides are promo stamped) is clean and glossy, with a little minor scuffing-grades NM. Plays nicely with minor surface noise and rich sound.

- Orquesta Tipica Nacional-Paginas Do Oro De, Vol. 3- LP- stereo-TH/Top Hits (Argentina) THS 1203 - 33 1/3 RPM LP release by Orquesta Tipica Nacional of Argentina, under the direction of Juan Durand. Unfortunately, we have been unable to unearth any information about this group. Our best guess is that this is a late 1960's or early 1970's release. Tracks (including "Favorita", "Jarro Mocho", and "Castro En Margarita") are labeled by style. Styles include vals, chorote, polo, merengue, joropo, & contradanza. Group appears to have been a traditonal South American string orchestra which played for formal dances and concerts. Cover is still sealed in original shrinkwrap (slight corner creasing). Disc within is, of course, Mint and unplayed.

- Situazione Senza-Les Aventures De- CD- Stereo-No label given. No catalog number. - Italian import, 90s recording(?) We could not find much out about this strange release. Sound is a weird marriage of Bossa Nova (w/trumpet, guitar, bass & drums) & rock/funk, with mostly Italian lyrics. Wild cartoon cover has image of flying Koala bears, with caption "The Invasion of Killer Koalas"! Nice condition! - (NM/NM) - $10- Order
