Comments:
Factory sealed brand spanking new

A heady collection of Afro Funk from the 70s -- one that features cuts from some of the West African scene who helped make the music huge at the time, plus a few surprising entries from other spots too. The package is a great no-nonsense dip into the genre -- put together by the same folks who did the favorite Sampled series in recent years.
