{"product_id":"roots-funkadelia-3","title":"Roots Funkadelia","description":"\u003cp\u003eFollowing the great success of BBE’s 2023 reissue of Remi Kabaka’s 1976 lost masterpiece 'Son of Africa' comes yet another neglected and hitherto-hidden slice of pure Kabaka goodness: 1980’s 'Roots Funkadelia'. While the 1976 album was recorded at Island Studios London, roots was recorded and mixed in L.A. in the midst of a golden period for the Motown studios, and the sheer quality of the mix shows in spades. An unexpected but welcome bonus is the appearance throughout of the ‘mean machine’- Motown artists the commodores’ brass section alter-ego. Released in 1980 on Polygram Nigeria with no international distribution deal, and lurking almost unnoticed in a handful of dedicated afro vinyl collections, this is the first-ever reissue outside Africa of an album that regularly fetches £500 plus on the ‘those who know’ market’.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bbe","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50425914130763,"sku":"2200587","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50425915048267,"sku":"2200593","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Roots_Funkadelia_370815d9_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726795893","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/roots-funkadelia-3","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
