Early Diblo album. Note that this is the "remix" -- but it contains one or two of the "originals" as well. Those sound crude and clutter up the release. All of which means that while this is good early Diblo (Loketo even), I will not be collecting it, especially since it costs a fortune. They really ought to re-release this together with Nicoletta filles des Antilles, cleaned-up for the digital era. As it is, I start collecting Diblo/Aurlus/Loketo in the CD era with Africa Mousso (although some of the releases during that era I actually ended up with on vinyl).
Before Nov 2020, grades range from 5 stars to 3.5 stars. After that, grade range is: 10 (A+), 9.5 (high A), 9 (A), 8.5 (high A-), 8 (A-), 7.5 (high B+), 7 (B+). Ungraded albums are honorable mention :-), neutral :-|, negative :-(. At least 3 listens per album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. [I shelved/sold 10,000-12,000 albums before starting this blog and will add entries for some of those as they come up. If you don't see an album, it doesn't mean I don't know it.]
