$

70

Legendary 1971 debut album by South African Afro progressive rock band Hawk on Parlophone Records, catalogue number PCSJ(D) 12080. The band were hounded from South Africa by the apartheid authorities for featuring Black musicians in their live line up and for being `communists` and `revolutionaries`. They relocated to London and renamed themselves Joburg Hawk. "African Day" is one of the first true Afro rock albums and features a 17 minute mini rock opera plus their unique of The Beatles "Here comes the sun".

Vinyl is in EX condition with just a couple of light scuff marks and scratches that do not affect the playing 9i have played it). The textured sleeve has some creases on both sides plus wear and tear around the edges and on the spine so I have graded it VG+. NB This album is pretty rare doesn't come up often on eBay.

NB We have been experiencing a very long postal strike in South African, now in it`s 4th month, and this has negatively affected delivery of orders.
