Appearances on the BBC played a crucial part in the extraordinary UK success enjoyed by Focus in 1972-73. Their live performances on TV's The Old Grey Whistle Test and radio's Sounds Of The '70s were much discussed at the time, and laid the foundation for a trio of hit singles in "Sylvia," "Hocus Pocus," and "House Of The King," all included here. Seven tracks showcase their distinctive mix of flute, keyboards and guitar with occasional yodeling. Sound is excellent throughout and the release comes with full recording details and extensive sleeve notes.

CROWN 001EP
|
Zulu EP brings the slow burning dancefloor energy of 1980s South Africa into sharp focus. Comprised of Sello Mmutung and Keith Hutchinson, the original six track album Zulu Disco was recorded in Johannesburg circa 1983. Each track shows the fever for American funk and disco that was sweeping through South Africa at the time, but with unmistakable township elements, infectious grooves, simple melodies, and deep synth workouts. Side A is for the dancefloor and Side B is full of deep, Afro-centric chuggers. Zulu EP includes the original version of "Moger", later covered by Starlight and Ray Phiri's side project, Kumasi.
