Description
SHALAWAMBE | Samora Machel | Vinyl LP | African Zambia
Record and sleeve both VG+
Shalawambe are a Zambian kalindula band formed in 1985 consisting of core members Dolenzy Kabwe (guitar, vocals), Claudie Kabwe (bass), Julius Chanda Kabwe (drums) and Ricky Chota (lead guitar, second vocals). Three of the band members are brothers and one cousin. The members make their living as farmers when not recording or performing. ‘Shalawambe’ is a word from the Bemba language and literally means ‘to stay behind and gossip’.
Peel discovered the band in 1987 through Charlie Gillett and invited the group for a session a year later. According to Margrave Of The Marshes, Peel sang some of the lyrics of the band's Samora Machel track when he was trying to impress the border guards when crossing from Zimbabwe to Zambia with his wife Sheila in 1988 to see the other side of the Victoria Falls. At the end of that year, listeners of his show voted Shalawambe session track Samora Machel number 37 in the 1988 Festive Fifty.

Grading System
In order to assist everyone who buys and sells rare discs, Record Collector magazine has originated a set of standards for the condition of second-hand records, I have added a (+) or (-) to my gradings where applicable.
MINT or NM : The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
VG+: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VG: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
G or G+: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
Fair: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing
