"I recently purchased a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC turntable from you, and I am really impressed with the level of detail and customer service I’ve received so far. The instruction folder is a great touch, and your excellent site gave me tons of info and insight into buying and setting up the turntable. Bravo!" - P. Cuffari
"Wow. I just got the turntable. It is amazing. I love the bags, I love the fact that I got it literally less than 24 hours after ordering, I love the cartoon easy set up pics, the stickers, record cleaner brush, and the sound is great for the money. SOOO Happy!! Thanks guys and gals--you just created a customer for life."- R. Montgomery

Afrobeat heads, take note! An essential document of modern African music history rescued from obscurity. Zaire 74 was a 3-day music festival in Kinshasa, Zaire (now Democratic Republic of the Congo) organized by South African trumpeter Hugh Masekela in an effort to showcase African musicians alongside popular American acts for American tourists who would be in the city for Muhammad Ali’s legendary fight against George Foreman. When the fight was postponed due to an injury suffered by Foreman, plans for the festival were nearly abandoned but ultimately continued as planned with 80,000 people in attendance. Performances by James Brown, Bill Withers and The Spinners were a major draw but the live recordings of these native Zairean / Congolese musicians have gone unheard until now. These 33 tracks spread across three vinyl LPs showcase a mix of upbeat funk by Tuby Ley Rochereau & Afrisa, groovy psych by Abumba Masikini, freeform afrobeat by Franco & T.P. O.K. Jazz, unplugged folk by Miriam Makeba and more. Deluxe gatefold sleeve contains extensive liner notes and artist photos.
- triple vinyl pressing
