Up for auction, a great copy of the 12” single by Kenya Blue Stars, released in 1981 on Makossa International Records with catalog number MEA-718 and featuring songs “Talaka (Swahili)” and “Siku Ya Kufa.” The vinyl is in vg+ condition, very clean with a few small and scattered surface defects. There is a small damaged spot (possibly a pressing defect) on side 2 that causes a few tics as it passes. The Makossa Tropical Disco sleeve is in vg- condition, the bottom seam has come unglued and has been repaired with scotch tape, top seam has also been reinforced with clear tape, has some fading and wear to corners. This is one of seven Makossa twelve-inches I have listed, check my other auctions!
