This is a tough one. I love the album cover, the album is very good, and it seems like a great artifact of the important mid '80s Parisian soukous scene. However, 3 of its 5 regular-length soukous tracks (total time: 31.5 minutes) are on Okominiokolo. The two tracks left off are "Ba Visite Aboya" and "Bimisa Ngai." So, I'd be buying this, at reasonably high prices, for under 12 minutes of music and 2 tracks. I listened to the whole thing at least 3 times just to see how it hit me and to grade it, and also listened to those 2 tracks alone. In the end, I decided not to spring for it. Maybe if it were inexpensive, but not at the prices being asked when I already have almost 2/3 of it.
