*World's first straight CD reissue
*Paper jacket specification

If Billy Wooten's work is the best Western live recording in the history of rare groove (market), then Geraldo Pino's work is the best African live recording!!

A miraculous Afro-funk live album featuring powerful vocals directly reminiscent of James Brown, sultry, groovy drums, and eccentric guitar and organ sounds!

The first album, released in 1972, is famous as a hardcore collector's item! The original version was extremely rare at $1000, and is the definitive Afro-funk album. From the opening song, "Blackman Was Born To Be Free," the band showcases a funky sound that connects directly to the floor with the excitement of a live album! It goes without saying that the black and dynamic sounds of this album have captured the hearts of rare groove freaks, not to mention Afro-funk fans!
