AMÉDÉE PIERRE - TELEGRAMME / OBROU (BIG JOHN):
Two folky and rootsy sides from this Ivory Coast-singer, my pick is the melancholic "Obrou (Big John)". Great deep vibes on both sides! Light sleeve marks on record, plays with light surface noise, not very bad. Pic sleeve has light general wear/creasing and a vintage gold "Radiafrique"-sticker on back. French original.
