Mid-seventies stoner afro-rock, slurring and moody, slathered in fuzz, from Kiwe in northern Zambia.

Loco, lo-fi garage and psych, 1966-7, put together by the people behind the excellent Six Feet Under compilation.

From 1971, contemporary settings of Handel, illuminated by psychedelic guitar, flute and electric piano, and a break-happy, funky rhythm section. Carol Kaye plays bass; Cannonball Adderley conducts the 38-piece orchestra (fresh from his own Black Messiah sessions). The gospelised choral sections carry the swing, as seems right.

Anniversary LP Edition.
