Description
Countdown KUSINI : Delta Sigma Theta Special Album (LP, 1975) Limited Edition Pressing No. 4384 SIGNED VG+/VG
NOTE: Play graded. Signed by Ossie Davis in the top right corner of the cover (“To Mary. Good Luck. Ossie Davis). The first 30 seconds of the first track on each side jumps due to an unfortunate and recent heat warp incident affecting a small section along the edge of the record. The LP has since been flattened by a professional with a Japanese vinyl flattening machine but the warp will still affect play since it was not a storage warp. The remaining tracks play fine and the record would otherwise be a VG+. The top and bottom of the gatefold cover have ½-to-2-inch split seams. There is also some edge wear, minor discoloration, and minor ring wear.

About the Film
Countdown at Kusini (also known as Cool Red) is a 1976 American-Nigerian action/drama film written by Howard Friedlander and Ed Spielman, and directed by Ossie Davis. The film was conceived and entirely financed by Delta Sigma Theta, which owned DST Telecommunications which produced material to counter the "inaccurate portrayal of black people in media." Filming took place in August 1974 in Lagos, Nigeria with both U.S. and Nigerian crews.
During a trip to the newly independent nation of Fahari, Africa, Red Salter, a Black American jazz musician, falls in love with Leah Matanzima, but she is involved in Fahari's struggle against a puppet government run by multinational corporations. Jealous of Leah's friendship with white British journalist Charles Henderson, Red reluctantly joins her support of revolutionary leader Ernest Motapo and helps her obtain guns from weapons dealer Saidu. When Fahari officials arrest them, Charles rescues Leah and Red; then spirits them away in a motorboat, but Ben Amed, a French mercenary hired to assassinate Motapo, rams them with another boat and kills Charles. Marnie (Yola), Motapo's traitorous nephew, arranges with Amed to ambush Motapo at a railroad junction near Kusini, but Leah and Red arrive in time with revolutionary fighters. After killing Marnie and Amed, Leah welcomes Red to Africa's revolution against European imperialism.
