In mid-2019 we started a collaboration with Fedor, an Amsterdam-based collector and vinyl hunter who devotes his free time to obscure and forgotten vinyl treasures from the 50s and early 60s. The original 45s come from the impressive collection of Fedor, who has rummaged through thousands of boxes of used vinyl at flea markets in the Dutch metropolis over the past 25 years.
So far six 10"-es have been released, all structured by individual topics.
Back then, Vol. 1: Wild Safari offered 12 exotic rarities on vinyl. On this CD you will find these 12 tracks on, but with the addition of 15 (yes, fifteen) bonus tracks. So a total of 27 tracks. Fedor has conjured up a great 12-page booklet and written an explanatory text for each song. Can't be done better... further CD versions of the 10"es are in the works.
Plus a 12-page booklet with the labels of the 45s and individual notes for each track.

1. Perez And Brana – The Crazy Cuban
