| ABDUL TEE-JAY'S ROKOTO | KANKA KURU | FMSD5018 | CD | £ 10.00 | |
| Released in 1989 it was his first and to my mind probably the best of his three albums. Seven songs that will have you singing along in no time to the infectious beat of the Sierra Leonean rhythms. The eighth track is an extra that was not on the LP version. Salima Yako was my favorite track and Abdul always used to say Hello Brighton if he saw me waving in the crowds dancing before him and the group. Magic all through so have a listen. | 1. RO-MANKE 2.

| THOMPSON TWINS | A PRODUCT OF... | FA3074 | LP | £ 3.00 | |
| You are probably wondering what on earth New Wave group the Thompson Twins first album from 1981 is doing listed under Sierra Leone. Well track No. 8 Oumma Aularesso (Animal Laugh) is a traditional song from Sierra Leone which was arranged by band member Tom Bailey. Well long ago I was in a record shop in Brighton and asked the young lady if she had any African music. She said no but I have got this. She played it and I loved it and bought it. End of story. Considering that the album is nearly 40 years old it is in almost new condition. Just a bit of wear on the edges. Record as NEW. Free download available on .wav or .mp3 file on request. | 1.
