Description
Rare Funk/ Afro - Kelenkye Band- Moving World Emporium Records album orig pressing.
Amazing original copy of this now legendary album possibly the best copy ever to be offered for sale in recent years.
This is, of course, the only release by this amazing band who combined all their influences: American hard funk, Ghanaian highlife and even Jamaican reggae on one monster record which sold little outside Ghana at the time but has since become a cult classic.
Original Emporium Records EMP : 001 made in Ghana by A.R.M.C. 1974
Condition:
The vinyl on both sides is in excellent condition with a few light marks, but nothing that affects the sound quality. There are, however, the inevitable pressing bubbles and dents associated with nearly all similar African records of the time.
The labels are in nice original condition with a few tiny spindle marks.
The cover is only VG + because though the sleeve itself is clean and has only one visible rip on the bottom right and a crease top right, the top and bottom of the sleeve have come apart. The right person could fix this though if needed.
There is the original shop price sticker on the front top left: £4.35 from OTI Bros & Co Ltd, which may come off, but I think its adds to the authenticity.
I got this album in the mid 80's and used to play out Brotherhood of Man, which always had people coming up and asking what and who it was.
Audio is fantastic with a clear punchy warm sound... Both sides play with very little surface noise even between tracks but there are a few clicks and pops as often associated with these pressings.
This lp would have sold very little at the time so it is extremely rare that any turn up nowadays let alone in this superb condition!
Dispatched with Royal Mail 1st Class.
