Orchestra Baobab - batch review/placeholder

I have several Baobab releases. On the final listen shelf (ie, had at least 3 listens already but need one final one before being graded and shelved) are the following, all with provisional grades of 8 (A-):

N'Wolof
La Belle Epoque: Volume 2 1973-1976
Tribute to Ndiouga Dieng

Already shelved, which means they got at least 4 listens and were shelved prior to me starting to formally grade albums, are the following, which I will grade if I ever play them again (but they are clearly at least 7 (B+) or I would not have shelved them):

On Verra Ca
Pirates Choice
Made in Dakar

And I have the following two albums lying around, which I have heard less than 3 times and will eventually get around to hearing some more:

African Classics (also called Classic Titles, and on AllMusic as African Nights for some reason)
A Night at Club Baobab

And finally, on my listening list for some day is Roots and Fruit. [AllMusic also has a Volume 3 for the La Belle Epoque series, which is also on Discogs, as a digital release. This is just the second disc of the 2-disc Volume 2.]
