Description
Various artists "Lipa Kodi Ya City Council" compilation LP on Mississippi Records (MR-013), 2007. Excellent African compilation put out a few years back by Mississippi Records, extremely limited and now out of print. Beautiful silk-screened cover. Music is a range of obscure R&B, pop, highlife, palm wine, juju and choral music recorded between 1967-1972 from Mali, Kenya, Sierra Leone, Zambia, Rwanda, Somalia and Uganda, selected with great care and an excellent ear. Very highly recommended.
Tracks include: Moussa Doumbi - Yeye Mousso (Mali), Yaseen Mohammed & Saada - Lala Mpenzi (Kenya), Sami Kamar & the Black Diamonds - Egun Dide (Sierra Leone), Kabushi & Mwenya - Mwe Baiyashi Centeleni (Zambia), Mbasela Kunda & William Monyanda - Nina Namusonda Sanguweji (Zambia), Noviciat de Soeurs Missionaires de Notre-Dame d'Afrique & four religious drummers - "Yesu Ka Mkwebaze" (Rwanda), Cabdulaahi Iman Zamir, Amin Xaaji & Nuur Maxamed Curuba - "Siina Miiri" (Somalia), Ester John, Fadhili William, Ben Nicholas & Fundi Konde - Mwanamali Wa Maridadi (Kenya), Frida Sonko - Gwenasobya (Uganda), Marehumu George Mukabi - Bibi Mama Ngani Mzuri (Kenya), S.E. Rogie - Do Me Justice (Sierra Leone), Isaya Mwinamo - Lipa Kodi Ya City Council (Kenya).
Vinyl is M- (like new). Cover is M- (with a caveat: the silkscreens were pressed on recycled sleeves, so there's a bit of edge wear, but it's in the same condition as bought when new).
I'm a longtime collector, not a professional dealer. The items I'm auctioning are coming from my collection. I remember the feeling of listening to some of these records for the first time; hopefully now I will be passing that feeling on to some of you. I'm also familiar with the feeling of receiving a record in worse condition than described and feeling cheated; I have no desire to have any transaction end that way here. Every record here is visually inspected and play-graded and will be shipped in sturdy record mailers. I'm selling off some of my records because I sadly need the money, but it's also my aim that the record brings you happiness and not regret. I'm putting up some killer rarities so please check my other auctions for more soul, funk, jazz, Latin, Brazilian, African goodness now and over the next months. My scale goes: S/S (still sealed), M-, VG+, VG, VG-, G, F.
Payment:
Paypal preferred. Personal checks only from US buyers with feedback rating over 100; item will not be shipped until check clears. Payment to be made within seven days of auction's close. I will send you an invoice at the end of the auction. If you have won multiple items please wait for my invoice because eBay checkout will probably give you an incorrect shipping total. Buyers with less than 20 feedbacks should contact me before bidding for approval or your bid may be canceled! I do not end auctions early.
