Glenda / Snake Dancer - South African OST

Various - Glenda / Snake Dancer - South African OST
(CD-Digipack/ Limited Vinyl-LP/ MP3) Sonorama Sono41, 2009-05-15

First regular release of the soundtrack to the famous banned South African movie "Snake Dancer" from 1976 starring Glenda Kemp. A rare find with excellently produced Disco Funk, Bossa Jazz and Soft Rock, composed by Zane Cronje and Charles Segal. "Glenda" was censored immediately by the repressive governement as a product of Western decadence and contains unknown funk delights "The Hustler", "Show Me What You Are" and "The Club" (vocal and instrumental). Brilliant sexploitation gem from the 70s! Remastered 2009, with unique cover design and new liner notes.

(CD-Digipack & Limited Vinyl-LP) Sonorama C-39/L-39, 2009-03-20

Modern Jazz will never die and it doesn't smell funny anymore: The original vinyl pressing of Walter Strerath "Trio Quartet Quintet" reached the highest amounts of all sold records in December 2008 on ebay.com, in third place and priced at 3.000$ behind two vintage albums of the Beatles and Pink Floyd. For many years the biggest international jazz collectors have tried to hunt down this first album by a commonly unknown (and nearly forgotten) jazz pianist from the small German village named Odenkirchen. The original album was manufactured in a tiny edition of 200 copies only and is impossible to find nowadays.
