Rarest of the rare!  1977 "Can You "TAKE IT" Soundtrack South African Playwright:

 Gibson Kente (1932-2004) AUTOGRAPH!

Beautiful NEW condition 33 RPM Record of Gibson Kente's Can You "Take It" African Township Musical play.  According to the musical notes on the back, it's in an American Blues style - or at least some songs are.  I have not listened to the record - it is is PRISTINE condition!  I don't know if it was ever played.  SIGNED on the back in blue ink by Gibson Kente.  This is from an estate in Atherton, CA (Google Atherton) of world travellers.

Record Number BL 117 on JRS Pride records, marketed & distributed by Gallo Africa.  SEE PHOTOS FOR STARS & LINER NOTES FROM THE BACK OF THE ALBUM COVER.  Soft cover, not like American cardboard record sleeves.  This will be mailed safely in a special box for records sandwiched between bubble wrap.

From the web: 

South African writer Gibson Kente single-handedly made the "township musical," a form of popular theater in black South African culture during the repressive apartheid era, into a dominant means of expression and exuberance. He died of acquired immune-deficiency syndrome (AIDS) in 2004 after a career that spanned nearly 50 years, and his impact on South African culture was impressive. "He wrote and performed plays which reflected township life," noted a Guardian tribute by Liz McGregor, "and trained and inspired hundreds of black actors and singers at a time when black creativity was viewed as a threat and suppressed by the apartheid state. Using the limited resources available in townships, he created musicals and plays that reflected the fears, hopes, joys and tribulations of black urban communities."
