As the press release says, AA boss and ‘intrepid crate-digger Samy Ben Redjeb unveils a new treasure-trove of Vodoun-inspired Afrobeat heavy funk crossover greatness’.

It’s a double vinyl LP housed in AA’s typically heavyweight gatefold sleeve including a 24 page, LP sized booklet. The CD has a 44 page booklet too.
