ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 1972, THIS ALBUM BY THE UGANDA BORN BIRIGWA IS ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUE AND HARD TO CATEGORIZE ALBUMS OF AFRO-FOLK-JAZZ-BLUES-PSYCH EVER. BIRIGWA CAME TO AMERICA TO STUDY AT THE NEW ENGLAND CONSERVATORY IN THE EARLY '70S WHEN HE MADE THIS BEAUTIFUL RECORD, WHICH FALLS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN TROPICALIA, PASTORAL SOUTH AMERICAN PSYCH, SPIRITUAL SOUL-JAZZ AND ECLECTIC BLUES, ACCENTED BY HIS SUPER VERSATILE VOCALS WHICH SWING FREELY FROM DEEP TO FALSETTO, PLAYFUL TO WONDERFULLY WEIRD TO DOWNRIGHT PRETTY. BACKING BIRIGWA WAS A STRONG BAND, HIS SOUND BOLSTERED BY THE RICH BASS LINES OF STARK REALITY MEMBER PHIL MORRISON AND THE PERFECT FLUTE TOUCHES OF STAN STRICKLAND. THINK OF CAETANO VELOSO, JORGE BEN, DEVENDRA BANHART OR MILTON NASCIMENTO, WITH ONE FOOT IN AFRICA, THE OTHER DIPPING ITS TOES IN SONIC WATERS FLOWING FROM ALL SORTS OF GREAT AND UNEXPECTED PLACES.

GRADING FOR LPs
Near Mint (M-)
Jacket: Minor imperfections due to handling may be present but no seam splits, cut-out holes or egregious writing. Very minor corner bumps or wear may be present. The condition and presence of any inserts will be described. If no mention of lyric sheets, posters, pictures or inserts is made - assume either a generic or factory inner sleeve.  
Vinyl: Vinyl and labels will appear rarely if ever handled or played. There may be only the slightest indication of handling in the form of an inconsequential very light scuff or two or very light spindle marks. The surface of the record will have retained all of it’s original lustre. Looks and feels like an almost-new record.
Very Good Plus (VG+) 
Jacket: Light, typical shelf, seam, spine or corner wear may be present. Light discoloration and light foxing may also be present. Clean saw marks, cut-out-holes or drill holes may be present. Any inserts may show signs of handling i.e. seam splits or corner creases. Anything more than a few of the minor defects listed above will lower the grade. 
Vinyl:  Vinyl and labels may have typical signs of gentle play and handling. Record surfaces may show some light signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light surface scratches that will not detract from playback. Light spindle marks may be present. My VG+ records are excellent.
Very Good (VG) 
Jacket: May be marred by writing, creases, edge or seam wear or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. Checks, minor seam splits, creases may be present. 
Vinyl: May have surface noise that will be evident upon playing but will not overpower the music. Groove wear may be noticeable, and light scratches will likely affect the sound. Definitely no skips. Labels may show writing, stickers, moderate spindle wear or other moderate defects.  _____________________________  1292 (GS 8.3.6 (1292))
