Back in the days, Osibisa was a local club band in Drammen, Norway, before they got the brake they truly deserved. I think they were all refugees comming together through the music. My step father had the first disco in Norway, this was in his collection and became one of my favorite bands, spent many hours of my youth with this record.
I think the artist for the covers of the early albums was Roger Dean. He did a few bands in the 70's, the band Yes being one of them. He has a website.
Enjoyed this many times while serving in SE Asia in early 70's. Cassette player with old coffee can over the speaker enhanced the 'stereophonic' effects. This brings back many good memories of a steamy time in the jungle. Thanks for posting.
does anybody know who painted the cover?that bug-elephant appears on another cover, the one for welcome home album, so i guess it is the same artist. he makes wonders with his imagination.
outside of Hugh Masekela and mariam makeba i didn't know that any good music could come from Africa. This was my top album upon graduating High School in Los Angeles in 1971. I have been looking for this Album for over twenty Years. M.J.M.
@mistermangetout these passages are from page #17 of The Companions of Jehu written by Alexandre Dumas pere--"Sir, I have heard speak of the Companions of Jesus," replied the magistrate with his jeering smile. "The Jesuits, you mean? That is not what I am seeking, sir."....Elisha consecrated Jehu King of Israel, on condition that he exterminate the house of Ahab; Elisha was Louis XVIII; Jehu was Cadoudal; the house of Ahab, the Revolution.
@mistermangetout Michael Tsarion is the worlds premier conspiracy researcher/lecturer/author. Dr. Bill Deagle, Leo Zagami, Jordan Maxwell and Alexandre Dumas pere are highly informative as well. p.s. Melting Euphoria is similar to Ozric Tentacles and Gong.
