K.フリンポン＆ヒズ・クバーノ・フィエスタス（ブルーヴァイナル）

The blue vinyl looks sharp, but it's the sound of *Kyenkyen Bi Adi M’awu* that really pulls me in—that track alone is worth the price. Pressing is clean, no pops on my first spin through.

I was blown away by how crisp the highlife rhythms sound on this 1976 pressing—Kyenkyen Bi Adi M’awu finally gets the vinyl treatment it deserves. Only wish the sleeve had a bit more liner note detail, but the music itself is flawless.

The pressing quality is excellent — dead quiet between tracks — and the mastering really brings out the warmth in those vintage horns. Only wish the liner notes included more info about the original 1976 session.
