This one’s all VINYL. Thus, the general SOUND is pretty ROUND. Music is R&B, Disco, Pop, New-Wave, Afro-beat and African Pop. I should mention that I do veer outside of ordinary RM50 territory with this one for two tracks – the Bhundu Boys and Ebeneto Koto tracks are from the Tim Dalton years. All the rest in bona fide Rog’, though…enjoy.
