-WITCH - Introduction (1973, original private press version)
Archival reissue of the private-press, first issue of the album that launched the Zamrock movement in 1972.

Originally pressed in a run of just a few hundred copies and sold by the band at their live shows, this is the first ever reissue of this garage-rock masterpiece
-Amanaz - Africa (1975)
Archival reissue of the album that perfectly articulates the Zamrock ethos – made by freedom fighters, coming from the mines, rocking hard. Featuring “Khala My Friend”
-Ricky Banda - Niwanji Walwa Amwishyo (1976)
Archival reissue of a dark, moody, introspective album by the mysterious Ricky Banda, a compatriot and bandmate of Rikki Ililonga and Dr. Footswitch. A welcome addition to the Zamrock canon, and a wonderful discovery for fans of WITCH and Amanaz.
