This LP has the same contents as the K7 recently posted by the good Stefan at the Worldservice blog here. I have not checked that carefully, like track times and such, but all the tracks seem to match and the order is the same so I assume they are identical edits as well. This particular series on Kaleidophone consisted of 10 LP's and I will post all of the others here and also some more individual volumes from earlier series on Decca and Gallotone but I only have random numbers from those catalogue.

Its nice to have two rips of the same material and even better that we have the sleeve scans from the LP! This adds a lot to the value of the music, in my opinion.
Thanks again, dear bo!
you've got some amazing stuff here... i thought you might enjoy a link to some of the same Hugh Tracey titles (the CD re-releases)..... maybe there will be one or two you don't have?

Hm, thank you Anonymous but the link you supplied looks very much like the link in my own post... ;-)
I have bought all but 3 CD's from the Sharp Wood production. Of the release from ILAM Rhodes University, (pointed ot by "gd") I have only a few copies. What they offer on CD is not the full catalogue and there are gaps in the numbering either because they were sold out or maybe put vacant for furthe issues. I don't know.
You can check for yourself here.

I have also noticed lately that one or two volumes are available on Spotify, (Uganda and I forgot the other one...) maybe Deezer have them as well, I have not checked. The most interesting piece of news was that there is quite a lot of recordings available for download from Folkways-Smithsonian.
About the link you offered...
Please try again!
