Part of the African Dancefloor Classics series on the label. The first three tracks are the best three on the four-track album Poly-Rythmo '76, Vol. 1, in my view (ie, they left off the right track), but this compilation is way too expensive for me to collect just for those (and forget about the 1976 release). Because the next two long tracks are just too long, and the final two tracks are very “Cuban” and more derivative-sounding.
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.
