I was foiled by this for awhile, because I did not realize that this was issued in South Africa with the title Tshiketa and appeared on streaming services that way. So I went for years wanting to hear hit, and only getting the chance to hear select tracks. The cover is very similar and looks like this:
Basically the same cover, with a different color border. I have the US release on Shanachie vinyl from the late 1980's. They also re-issued it a few years later, still in the late 1980's, on CD. I was unable to find that for a decent price, and nothing appears to have been done with it sonically, so, an early-period CD transfer. Normally I do not buy those, and will also normally not get the original vinyl in that case, but since it was essentially a contemporaneous "re-issue," I made an exception. I also made an exception and bought a cutout, because it was available sealed for a very fair price. I will listen one more time when it arrives and may raise it to 8.5 (high A-).
