ALEMAYEHU ESHETE - BECHAYANE TEGODAHU / TEREDECHEWALEHU:
"Bechayane Tegodahu" scorching Ethio funk! Flipside "Teredechewalehu" is on a more mellow and folkloristic tip but with a deep sound and very nice too. Vinyl is more or less free from marks and scuffs but has a cloudy pattern on side A, side B looks better but both sides play a bit noisy (pressing is low so some of the noise is pressing related). Ethiopian original, this is the Lebanon-made version without pic sleeve.
