I got the self titled and the heads lp. and if you cant find anything to use from those albums then you must be sleeping because i could make albums out of those albums alone! Its got loads of breaks and the arrangements on it are diverse and fun. good shit for sure!

Yo Huggie I like them too. I have:

# 1971 - Osibisa
# 1971 - Woyaya
# 1972 - Heads
# 1973 - Happy Children

A lot of percussion and crazy african drums on these.

It's not the records I put on everyday tho' (unlike Azymuth - Light As A Feather, which has to be played at least twice a day or so...)
