AMANAZ - Africa (Repress) - LP - Vinyl [MAY 31]

LP - Black Vinyl. Contains the original version of the album: a dry, drums-up mix ("Flat" Mix).   

Issued in 1975, this is the articulation of Zambia’s “Zamrock” ethos, covers each major quadrant of the Zamrock whole: it came from the mines; its musicians were anti-colonial freedom fighters, it envelops Zambian folk music traditions. And it rocks.

The album was given two separate mixes and two separate presses: one version is dry, with the vocals and drums mixed loud, the other slathered in reverb, with the vocals and drums disappearing into the mix, and with the guitar solos mixed much louder. Now-Again has presented them both in this anthology. This is a highpoint of the Zamrock scene and this is its definitive reissue.

LP contains the original version of the album: a dry, drums-up mix.
