Early Diblo Dibala appearance. 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 11/2020, grades range from 5 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+), and 7 (B+). Ungraded albums are noted as liked :-) (honorable mention), neutral :-|, and disliked :-(. At least 4 listens per graded album and 3 listens per ungraded album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. I sold/shelved ~10,000 albums after at least 3 or 4 listens, respectively, before starting this blog and will add entries for those as they arise.
