I Seek to Know this World


Here's this week's exciting flea market find, a lovely album by The Doves. This crackly old (1979) record is full of some bubbling Nigerian reggae/funk/highlife grooves with plenty of wah-wah and mooginess. You can read more about the group over at Comb & Razor.



Tracklist:

01 Life Is Gone
02 I Seek To Know This World
03 Strange Land
04 True Love Is Gone
05 The Urge To Sing Our Music
06 Living Together
07 I Shall Be Free
08 Lawrence Rest In Peace

Get it HERE.

I want to add my thanks for this funkiness too, and as long as folks are asking for re-ups can I ask for this one:
Langa Langa Stars - Verckys presente Stars Langa Langa Vol. 1 (1981?)
