An intriguing Phonogram distributed label: the first single from 1972 is by a Lingala band that I’ve never encountered before and was sent in by Pieter of the excellent Sea Never Dry. The second, though, from a Dutch radio show compiled by another Pieter appears to have been released at a much later date. And then there’s the Lunna Kidi single, which appeared in a London record store early in 2009 and is dated 1977.
