This is a very good record with several hard to find musical traditions represented. Among the music there are some good tracks of sawt my favourite tracks are b2 & b3 but in general it is an interesting recording that should be brought back to a new audience. Many thanks goes to the good hunter zwan who's generous sharing of all vinyl prey is most appreciated. In this case however the hunt is not for the kill but the exact opposite, to bring back to life! How many have seen this LP before? Raise your hands now. I was not one of them. But there are many more good ones in this series so any help to collect them are most welcome! Below are but a few listed on the back of the sleeve. I'll post a more complete list here on Anthems of Luobaniya later.
