Good deals on Amazon.co.uk--updated regularly (Part Three)

Nice price of £18.41 for the new live Neil Young album...but not so nice is the much feared and dreaded white plastic bag which it arrived in. You know...the one that only happens to other people!!!

African Party [VINYL]

£11
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00X8T5NGG/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_04FGRPPSNKMPCK5ZBC64?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Widely regarded as a mentor to Fela Kuti among others in the 60s, Nigerian born, UK raised Ginger Johnson was an influential figure not only with musician’s (including Cymande and Osibisa) but also on the club scene of the Sixties. He was also instrumental in the beginnings of the Notting Hill carnival and as a drummer and percussionist was called upon by the likes of Quincy Jones, Georgie Fame and The Rolling Stones. ‘African Party’ is pretty much just that: an energetic blend of Hi-life and jazz giving tracks like ‘I Jool Omo’, ‘Adura’ and ‘Alege’ a carnival feel. ‘Talking Drum’ brings in some latin influences while ‘Ire’ is a pulsating afro-jazz workout. Good expose of this important yet overlooked figure.

 

Love Peace & Happiness [VINYL] Orlando Julius / Ashiko
£9
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06XXFYGR5/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_PAH4PED20GWBNSZNB0AB?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Hot Casa present an official reissue of Orlando Julius & Ashiko's Love, Peace & Happiness, originally released in 1978. A hard to find, pure Afro funk spiritual grail by the Afro soul maestro.

Born in 1943 in Ikole-Ekiti in Ondo State, Nigeria, Orlando Julius Ekemode (Orlando was really a nickname, taken from the Nigerian actor, Orlando Martins) started in music at an early age, becoming the school drummer and learning flute, bugle, and other instruments at St Peters Anglican School in Ikole-Ekiti. A Nigerian musician, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, he is credited as one of the first musicians to fuse US R&B into traditional highlife music, creating his own influential Afrobeat sound during the mid-60s.

From his time playing in the USA during the 1970s onwards, he is credited with bringing African music to a broader audience and famously co-composed the song "Going Back To My Roots" with Lamont Dozier. In 1978, Orlando Julius Ekemode decided to produce this amazing session, originally recorded between Maryland and West Virginia, and released in limited quantity in Nigeria by the obscure label Jungle Records. Six stunning monster Afro funk tracks, recorded by eight musicians based in Oakland. Fully licensed with the artist and remastered by Carvery. Essential!

Review
Leo Wright, sax - Blues Shout - Atlantic SD 1358 (1960)/ Pure Pleasure - vinyl – Audiophile Audition

 

Ordered this and received it yesterday. Unfortunately it was damaged when it arrived. Spine of the record and the inner sleeve have an inch long split.

I set up a return and thought sure I’ll order another copy. Obviously though this was a very good deal. Is now priced at £46!!

Think I’ll just live with the damage. Thankfully the record itself seems fine.
Anyone else get this one?

 

I didn't and should have. I wasn't home at the time it was posted and never heard of that. When I did remember to listen, it was too late.

 

I’d never heard of it either. Gave it a quick listen on Spotify and liked it. Raging about the sleeve damage but I’ll live with it now

 

honestly, with these sweet deals, sleeve damage is no real biggy, imo. if the record plays fine, it's all good

 

The prime deals have been very underwhelming so far

 

I know what you mean, but we're still buying a new product that should be as perfect as possible.

 

yeah, I get that - but some of these are 'blink and you miss it deals' - so by the time you've receieved the record, the sweet deal is gone. sure, you can get your money back - but again - as long as the record is flat and plays well, anything else is a bonus. ymmv, of course

 

we're on the wrong side of the pond. I'm seeing Tone Poets at 19 bucks. sickening!

This is freakin amazing! It's OOS and it wouldn't ship to me, but I bought it on Amazon.de for the same price. Fingers crossed that I can actually get it. Thank you!

 

You are? Wow!! Is that on the US site??

Yes, but I'm not sure if you're still on time. I think they were flash deals.

Another awesome album. To anyone who doesn't know Matthew Halsall and if you're into astral/spiritual jazz, go ahead and grab this one. I have the CD or else I'd be all over it.
