Dalek I Love You – Dalek I Love You
Korova / WEA 1983
Another 1983 delicious slice is this one by Dalek I Love You.
We enjoyed listening to it a whole lot. “Look Good, Get Smart,
Smell Nice, Work Hard, Ambition”. Wonderful lyrics, funky sound,
splendid art work “Have You Got It?” This was and still is one of my
favourite new wave albums. If you never heard it, do not hesitate,
get it and spread it as usual straight away. Again some skips may
be slightly out of place, better listen in one take ..
Een andere heerlijke 1983 schijf vinyl is deze met Dalek I Love You.
We hebben er altijd met enorm veel plezier naar geluisterd. “Look
Good, Get Smart, Smell Nice, Work Hard, Ambition”. Geweldige
teksten, funky sound, prachtig art work. “Have You Got It?” Dit
was en is nog steeds één van m’n lievelings new wave platen.
Als je ‘m nooit hebt gehoord, twijfel dan niet. Down, deel
en luister onmiddelijk zoals altijd. Wederom kunnen
enkele skips wat fout zitten, luister het best achter
elkaar door dus ..

Gene Loves Jezebel – Promise
Situation 2, 1983
Identical twin brothers Jay (John) and Michael Aston are better
known as ‘Gene Loves Jezebel’. They had a couple of successes
during the 1980’s. I think their best album was their first one
called ‘Promise’ from 1983. My friends and me played it over
and over, crazy about their emotional way of singing .
The songs are melt together and placing the exact skips
may have worked poorly here and there. Better listen
to it as a whole .. Love the artwork on this one ..
De één eiige tweelingbroers Jay (John) en Michael Aston zijn
beter bekend als ‘Gene Loves Jezebel’. Ze hadden diverse successen
tijdens de jaren tachtig. Ik vind hun eerste album, genaamd ‘Promise’
uit 1983, ook direct hun beste. Mijn vrienden en ik draaiden hem grijs,
gek op hun emotionele manier van zingen. De nummers zijn op kant
één aan elkaar gemonteerd en de skips kunnen her en der wat
rommelig zijn. Beter om in één take af te luisteren dus.
Prachtige plaat, prachtige hoes ..

Fad Gadget – Incontinent + bonus tracks
Mute Records 1981
The 1980’s were an interesting decade musicwise. We listened to
reggae, african and ofcourse a lot of new wave. Great Brittain was
the cradle of a whole lot of interesting bands. I’m gonna post some
this week, starting with this artist. This is the second album from
1981 by splendid artist .. ;
Francis John Tovey(8 September 1956 – 3 April 2002), known also
by his stage name Fad Gadget, was a British avant-garde electronic
musician and vocalist. He was a proponent of both new wave and
early industrial music, fusing together a unique blend of pop structured
songs mixed with mechanised experimentation.As Fad Gadget, his
music was characterised by the use of synthesizers in conjunction
with sounds of found objects, including drills and electric razors. His
bleak, sarcastic and darkly humorous lyrics were filled with biting
social commentary toward subjects such as machinery, industrialisation,
consumerism, human sexuality, mass media, religion, domestic violence
and dehumanization while often being sung in a deadpan voice.(wiki)

Okukuseku Band of Ghana – Kedu? Odinma
Kclubb 1978
From 1978 we’ve got this album with the great Chief Kofi Sammy
and his Okukuseku Band of Ghana. The sleeve of the record is quite
worn out, the vinyl itself however is still in good shape. I have added
the pictures taken from Discogs which are in much better condition.
Chief Kofi Sammy is hier andermaal met dit heelijke album uit 1978.
De hoes is bijna verdwenen maar het vinyl zelf verkeert nog in prima

Original Brothers Band – Iheoma Ogo Egbulem
Rogers All Stars 1980
An album without any information on Rogers All Stars from
Onitsha, Nigeria. I found it with the wrong sleeve and had to
copy this one from Youtube for it was the only one I could find.
It concerns the Original Brothers Band led by Sir Major with
Iheoma Ogo Egbulum from 1980. The highlife makes me think
of that from the Oriental Brothers, I guess it is from the same
region. I have no sleeve and no info, if one of you does, please
be so good to share it with the rest of us. For now just
listen to the Original Brothers Band ..
Vandaag een plaat zonder enige informatie op Rogers All Stars

deze daarom van Youtube moeten halen, de enige plek waar ik
hem kon vinden. Het betreft hier een album van de Original

uit 1980. De highlife doet me denken aan die van de Oriental
Brothers, ik gok dat die uit dezelfde streek komt. We hebben
dus geen hoes en geen info, als één van jullie ‘m heeft, deel

naar de Original Brothers Band ..

Opambuo Internationals led by Nana Agyeman
Osro Broni, Brobisco KBL-067
Another Ghanaian highlife group I have cherished from
the first time I laid my ears on them is this one. I had to
borrow the sleeve from Discogs for my copy came to me
with the wrong cover when I bought it. Nana Agyeman
Opambuo was born in Feyiase, Ashanti region in 1954.
After leaving school he became a singer with Afro Boateng
Band and later with Kwabena Akwaboah Band. The boy
with the golden voice he was called and his first hit was
‘Maniso Tan Me’. He started his own group with the
financial support of producer A.K. Brobbey.
Nog zo’n fijne Ghanese groep die ik koester vanaf de eerste
keer dat ik ze hoorde is deze. Ik heb de hoes van Discogs
moeten lenen omdat mijn exemplaar met een verkeerde hoes
kwam toen ik hem kocht. Nana Agyeman Opambuo werd
geboren in Feyiase, Ashanti region in 1954. Na zijn schooltijd
werd hij zanger bij Afro Boateng Band en later bij de Kwabena
Akwaboah Band. De boy with the golden voice werd hij genoemd
en zijn eerste hit was ‘Maniso Tan Me’. Hij begon zijn eigen band
met de financiele steun van producer A.K. Brobbey.
In the clip we hear ‘Hu anim ase nkyene’ from
the album ‘Show Me Your Love’.

the Best of Vis-a-Vis – in Congo Style
Ride Away / Ambassador 1976
On this sunday morning we’ve got something different.
Ghanaian band Vis-aVis play six songs in Congo style.
The first track has some nasty pops and is therefore
quite bad sounding in the beginning. I have thought
about skipping it. From one third it starts sounding
better though so I left it for you to decide if you still
want to keep it. Isaac Yeboah, Sammy Cropper and
their group really nail this, they were still very young
here but clearly know what they’re doing, they prove
themselves extremely versatile .. enjoy your sunday ..
goede morgen, op deze zondag ochtend hebben we
een bijzondere plaat voor je. De Ghanese band Vis-aVis
speelt zes nummers in Congo stijl. Het eerste nummer
heeft enkele lelijke plops en klinkt daardoor nogal slecht
in het begin. Ik had het bijna weggelaten maar na één
derde wordt het weer zeer acceptabel en heb ik besloten
het aan jou over te laten of je het bewaart. Isaac Yeboah,
Sammy Cropper en hun groep doen dit ondanks hun lage
leeftijd erg goed. Ze weten duidelijk wat ze
doen en blijken zeer veelzijdig.

Sir Jerry Oshiorenua and the Heroes
Dance Band of Etsako
Why Worry Records WWR 032
One of the fun things about crate digging is one discovers
artists and music never heard of. The Utrecht record fair
is the place where I meet loads of record dealers from all
over the world. One of them always brings the most obscure
Nigerian vinyl. Thank you Sofiane for all that sweet Etsakor
stuff you bring us.
What have we got for you today, an album with Sir Jerry
Oshiorenua and the Heroes Dance Band of Etsako. When
going to Discogs I find the name Mike Esimiekhua. No idea
if Sir Jerry is an alias but it looks like it. One way or the other,
his sound is quite different from the Afenmai/ Etsakor music
we have heard so far. Get, spread and listen ..
Één van de mooie kanten van het platen zoeken is dat je van
tijd tot tijd muziek vindt van Artiesten waar je nog nooit van
gehoord hebt. De Mega Platenbeurs in Utrecht is de plek bij
uitstek. Ik ontmoet er platen dealers uit de hele wereld. Één
van hen brengt altijd de meest obscure platen mee uit Nigeria.
Dank je Sofiane voor al die geweldige Etsakor elpees.
Wat hebben we hier ? Een album met Sir Jerry Oshiorenua
and the Heroes Dance Band of Etsako. Op Discogs vinden we
het onder de naam Mike Esimiekhua, geen idee of Sir Jerry
een alias is maar het lijkt erop. Hoe dan ook, zijn sound is flink
anders dan de Etsakor/Afenmai muziek die we tot dusver
hebben gehoord. Down, deel en luister ..

Dear visitors, As some of you may have noticed, Jillem
from Holland Tunnel Dive and I point in each other’s
direction on a regular basis. Thank you for doing so
Jillem. I have tried to find a way to contact HTD
several times but have not found it so far. I don’t
know Jillem but maybe we can create a portal here at
the Global Groove to let him know how grateful we are
for all the incredible work he has been doing. So folks,
you can leave a message to Jillem here and Jillem, you
can respond here too. I’m sure you have a good reason
not to allow comments on your wonderful blog but you
must understand people like to leave you a note once
in a while. I for instance want to thank you for the
numerous super nice albums you post. This is one I
really love a lot, Pedro Lima rocks like no other !!
Give him a shout folks, Guepa Jé .. hooray .. !

The Wizard Guitarist Emperor Pick Peters
and his Seidormatic System vol. 4
Peter L’aja Kan
African Songs Limited 1976
Goedemorgen groevers, vandaag hebben we een plaat die alleen voor de
doorgewinterde liefhebbers van juju te beluisteren valt. De geluidskwaliteit
laat nogal te wensen over. Met een beetje geluk vind ik hem in de toekomst
nog eens in betere conditie maar voor nu zullen we het hiermee moeten doen.
De laatste keer dat ik dit zei poste Jillem (Holland Tunnel Dive) direct
een betere versie, Jillem .. ?
Wat hebben we hier ? Het betreft een tamelijk zeldzame uitvoering met The
Wizard Guitarist Emperor Pick Peters and his Seidormatic System, vol. 4. We
hadden volume 3 reeds in december 2016. Die klinkt overigens een heel stuk
beter. Hoe dan ook, de juju is buitengewoon fijn als je door de
kraakjes heen kunt luisteren.
Good morning groovers, today we have a record that can only be listened to
by the most diehard juju lover. Its soundquality is far from perfect and leaves
us with wishes for a better one. With a bit of luck I’ll find a better copy in the
future but for now we’ll have to settle with this one. The last time I said some-
thing like this Jillem (Holland Tunnel Dive) came with
a clean version the same day, Jillem .. ?
What have we got here ? It concerns a quite rare album with The Wizard
Guitarist Emperor Pick Peters and his Seidormatic System vol. 4. We had
volume 3 already in december 2016. That vol sounds much better by the
way. One way or the other, the juju is very nice if you’re able
to listen through the crackles ..
