Zamrock was a bona-fide rock scene, with albums released through independent labels based in Zambia. This music scene was complete, encompassing the genres of rock, acid folk, fusion, Afro-beat, South African jazz and traditional Zambian melodies. It quickly became a uniquely Zambian movement, befitting of its name. The Ngozi Family,WITCH and Amanaz sound nothing like other rock music from the African continent or elsewhere. MORE

BUY THE LP NOW AT BANDCAMP» Salty Dog
Salty Dog’s solitary Zamrock album, custom-pressed for the band by the South African Teal record company’s Zambezi subsidiary is one of the more difficult Zamrock records to find clean; in our years of searching and friendship with the late Norman Muntemba, the band’s leader, we’ve only come across two. Now, the album has been restored and remastered – and expanded – in this definitive reissue, done in conjunction with the Salt Dog’s bandmembers’ heirs. MORE
Spacing Out is the epitome of Psychedelic Funk – an exceedingly rare album sought out by rock, funk, soul and hip hop sample fiends – and bootlegged – for decades. This is the first official reissue of the album, done with the license and participation of the entire Invaders band, with their story told in great detail in an oversized booklet penned by Jefferson “Chairman” Mao, complete with rare photos of this rarely seen ensemble.
BUY THE LP NOW AT BANDCAMP» The Invaders – Spacing Out
Spacing Out is instrumental masterpiece only ever issued in Bermuda at the turn of 1970. A mix of the band’s out-there original compositions and extravagant covers of The Meters, The Temptations, Aretha Franklin and Isley Brothers, it established this band as one of the greatest instrumental bands of any genre, and helped kickstart the retro-soul/funk scenes that birthed the likes of Daptone and Big Crown Records. It’s certainly a lode star for Now-Again Records. MORE
