Franco et le T.P.O.K. Jazz
Disque d’Or et Maracas d’Or 1982
Edipop 1982

In navolging van Worldservice, op 12 oktober j.l. was het 30 jaar
terug dat Franco overleed. Zoveel mooie platen, zoveel verhalen,
de bron is onuitputtelijk. We hadden al veel van zijn platen maar
deze dubbelaar op Edipop uit 1982 heb ik nog niet hier of bij de
diverse collega’s gezien. Ik kan je niet zoveel vertellen als Stefan,
ik heb alleen de muziek voor je. POP 021 verkeert in goede staat,
POP 022 ziet er schoon uit maar ruist helaas. Geniet eens te
meer van het werk van le Grand Maître ..

Following the post on Worldservice, on october 12th it was 30 yrs.
ago that Franco died. So many wonderful records, so many stories,
the well is inexhaustible. We had us quite some of his records al-
ready but this dubble album on Edipop from 1982 I haven’t seen
here or at the blogs of our colleagues until now. I can’t tell you
as much as Stefan can, I just have the music for you.POP 021 is
in fine condition, POP 022 looks clean but has some hiss
unfortunately. Enjoy the works of
le Grand Maître once more ..

    Some wonderful track there Moos. Tangawusi is a long time favourite.

    PS – can you please remove my previous post – it has my surname on it!

    Thank you so much for this. I have tons of Franco but I’ve been looking for the full version of “Na yebi ndenge bokolela ngai” for decades. It was truncated on the CD release and I always suspected the sebende was glorious – and it is!
