Zafra - Z For Zafra (LP)
H & L Records 6.23 990, 1977 Germany Super funky affair and a real shame these guys only recorded this one album for H&L. Skateboard Shuffle and It's In The Music are both great grooves but start with This Cats On Fire and tell me this cut is made for si...

Tribe - Tribal Bumpin (LP)
