A friend of mine has Afrique (bought it for only $2, he's one of the happy
few) and I taped the album. It's great because it has a heavy funk vibe all
the way through, with some weird keyboards played by Charles Kynard. It
also features a few guitarists but it never get's overdone. Instead they al
play with a heavy wah wah effect so the funk is definitely there. I think
it's like most of the Mainstream releases pretty rare.
24 Karat Black- Ghetto...as far as I know it's reissued on cd only by ACE
(stax)(see http://www.acerecords.co.uk/labels/) so if you're looking for
wax it's still sucks. As noted before on the list, this one is also pretty
difficult to find.
Good luck!!
