This is the double album with another version of "Ariwo." It's been many, many years since I listened to this one also, and as I recall it really was "beardy" and rather self-indulgent, but maybe it's worth bringing to the light of day. I'll give it a listen and decide.<BR/><BR/>I will scan the cover and send it along, though. It's really groovy and outasite!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26746300.post-68523683261569081992007-06-21T18:26:00.000-05:002007-06-21T18:26:00.000-05:00ahhh.... good point with the Remi Kabaka, too!(mig...ahhh.... good point with the Remi Kabaka, too!<BR/><BR/>(might have to do some kind of feature on him soon)Comb & Razorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11912912211584098914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26746300.post-15569768299853156162007-06-21T18:25:00.000-05:002007-06-21T18:25:00.000-05:00i think there was a Japanese reissue of this album...i think there was a Japanese reissue of this album at some point, but i doubt it's around any more.<BR/><BR/>this was my first time listening to this album in a few years myself, and i was surprised at how funky, tuneful and accessible it was! for some reason, i always remembered it as being one of those pretentious, meandering and "beardy" post-Woodstock hippie improv-rock jams... but it's nothing of the sort!<BR/><BR/>thanks again!Comb & Razorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11912912211584098914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26746300.post-23949251941941484522007-06-21T18:17:00.000-05:002007-06-21T18:17:00.000-05:00P.S.: Wouldn't "Remi" be Remi Kabaka, who was als...P.S.: Wouldn't "Remi" be Remi Kabaka, who was also part of Ginger Baker's Air Force?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26746300.post-17637416547669140302007-06-21T18:15:00.000-05:002007-06-21T18:15:00.000-05:00Glad I could be of assistance.

And kudos to you, afkap, for the very useful background information on this album. <BR/><BR/>This was one of the first "African" LPs I ever bought, back around 1975 or so. I got this, and <I>Fela and Ginger Baker Live</I> at the same time, from a cutout bin. <I>Live</I>, of course, has been in print in one form or another for at least the last 20 years, but <I>Stratavarious</I>, to my knowledge, dropped out of sight almost immediately after being released. When I digitized it was the first time I'd listened to it in almost twenty years, and it's not bad at all! It's a nice snapshot of a funkier, more free-spirited time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26746300.post-24411430683001629752007-06-21T17:41:00.000-05:002007-06-21T17:41:00.000-05:00right on! sounds very coolright on! sounds very coolavocado kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01106580414233962584noreply@blogger.com
