Classic albums on BBC4 about it's recording. I know it was controversial but it's still magnificent!

To cut along story short, my dad used to play bass for Mungo Jerry...they toured SA back in ‘83-4...he came back with a ton of South African music...amazing stuff...
These were my favourite, can’t understand a bastard word as it’s all in Swahili(sp?)

These Classic Album docs, are brilliant. I enjoy them even if I dont like the music particularly, I'm just fascinated by the whole recording process.

I thought it was terrible at the time and recent listens have done nothing to change my mind.

Sorry to disagree but it's a brilliant album not a great album

Love a lot of the South African music, as you say can't understand what they are singing about but the rhyhm is brilliant and so lively
