Dollar Brand 'Mannenberg-'is where it's happening' 1989 Roots Records, Zimbabwe 2 track vinyl LP. ROTH 124. Dollar Brand (Abdullah Ibrahim) was the first artist to record a South African jazz LP. The 1974 album 'Mannenberg' was the seminal work and was a blend of local marabi rhythms, jazz and Eastern influences. This,I think, is a 1989 Zimbawean re-issue.

I am bringing to Ebay my brother-in-law's 30-40 year old collection of African and, later, other music genres. Sadly, after a difficult time, he passed away a few months ago and the proceeds from the sale of his music will all be going to his immediate family. I am not keeping anything except the postage which will be at cost. He was a lovely man and sorely missed by everyone. A visit to their home would inevitably include listening to a small part of his music collection, some more 'far out' than others as he had a wide taste. He always said that the record collectors he met were really friendly and perhaps some of his collection will pass on to people he knew. Anyway, music deserves to find a good home and over the next few weeks/months I'll see if I can add to your collection. I was also interested in African music but had generally washed up on the soukous/highlife shore whilst he was particularly interested in Nigerian Afrobeat/Juju and Fuji.
There will be some interesting things coming along. Apart from LPs there are cassettes to be listed as well. Because I will only have the time to list in smallish batches please keep checking my listings regularly as some items will not hang around on the site for long.
Grading the records:  Some years ago I sold my LPs and the means of playing them so I haven't played any of the records listed. When I sold my collection I looked across the LP in a bright light and listed any marks/scratches that could be seen. This seemed to work and there were no complaints. I'll tend to make things sound worse than they are in order that there are no disappointments. All records I will call  VG, even if appearing mint, and will note faults.
As you know if you come across a record you want the chances are that you may never see another copy so you buy it and hope for the best. My brother-in-law bought new but also a lot of second hand records so there is no idea of how many hands it has been through. But, if you remember that they are 40-60 years old then it isn't surprising if they have issues.
Postage: In UK I will only send out with tracking / signature with Royal Mail. Generally Tracked 48.Thanks to Ebay's 'improvements' I will normally list the postage as 'free' because I don't want any buyer postage and selecting EVRI-too many problems. The items will be sent in professional record packaging which can hold 3 LPs for the postage cost of 1 if the value is less than £150. Items above this amount will be insured and be sent by Parcelforce.  I get proof of postage for all items. If you order more than 1 item in the same package, and there are postage savings, I will refund the over amount to you. 
Overseas Buyers: PLEASE PLEASE put any items into your basket first. If you buy individually Ebay Global Shipping will charge you postage for every item! By putting the order in your basket you will get a combined postage.I only send via Ebay Global Shipping. Please note postage to Europe and particularly USA can be high.
Any taxes/import duties are the buyer's responsibility.
