POSTED ON
Franco & OK Jazz – Ok Jazz vol. 1&2
Pathé Marconi, EMI 1977
After the first double year, I now post the first double album.
I kept it waiting for this special occasion and today is the day.
With songs by some of the greatest composers of their days,
such as De La Lune, Vicky, Youlou Gilbert, De Wayon and
Simarro, see backsleeve for details. Confusing is the fact that
cover speaks of a re-edition from 1977 while the first LP’s label
says 1965 and the second LP’s label, 1976. I am no specialist
but these songs must be from the sixties, right? Anyone to clear
things up? One thing I do know, damn beautiful.

Thank you for posting this Moos. It is a great LP & a great excuse for me to listen to it all over again & find out which one of you bagged the best vinyl copy.

Thanks Moos! This is definitely vintage OK JAZZ from the 1960s. Thanks too for the latest two L’Afrique Danse LPs.
Speaking of anniversaries and double albums, I’ve been looking for Franco’s 20th Anniversary album. I found a copy of it here:

However, it was rather crackly. If you have a vinyl or cassette recording of this double album in good quality, please share at a time you consider appropriate. I owned the two tapes but somebody nicked my volume 1 and I’ve overplayed my volume 2. Heaven knows it will be the first cassette I buy when I get back to Nairobi!

This Looks wonderful. Can’t wait to work my way through it!

Hi Moos,
I think this is one of the greatest Franco albums. Stefan from Worldservice posted this same album a year ago; he also has some more info. And by the way: I recently came across another great Franco blog I think you’ll like. Regards,
Marc

Hello,
The link for part 2 does not seem to be working. Mediafire gives a “Processing download request” message, but never connects to the file.
Could we get a new link, please?

Thank you very much, Moos, for fixing this link. I’ve been listening to your posts pretty much around the clock for a week now. Going to have to get that new 2 terrabyte drive up and running this weekend. I’m out of space, and it’s largely your fault!
