Michael’s picks
After yesterday’s post Benn loxo listener, Michael, was the first to send in his favourite African LP covers. The first one, Ngaluka Ngaluka by F Kenya, is fantastic.

I should like to hear Ugbo and His Philosophers! great sleeve and name!
Oh yeah, that F. Kenya looks great. My personal favorite might be Mulatu Astaqe’s Mulatu of Ethiopia cover. the psychedelic design on the wall is priceless.
On the Fela front, you have to love No Agreement, Coffin for Head of State and Gentleman.
It’s also hard to find a better facial expression than Gyedu Blay-Ambolley’s on the cover of Simigwa, which got recycled for the cover of Afrodisiac’s Booniay!! comp.
