There is a 12" with General Abubaka on LKJ-records. His deejay piece (»Introducing Abu Baka«) follows an instrumental by the Session Men. On the other side there's two track by Dub Poet Michael Smith. Great great disco.

Abu Baka apparently made a living by selling hats.

hi kalcidis
that is the very one i listened to when a friend of mine got it from one of his uncle studying in france back in 1984.
would be great to listen to it again.never knew it was a s single.the man abu baka disappeared.some people from LKJ staff told me once that he is still living in brixton.
