    thanks for sharing this one.
    i missed the boat on the LP, wish i could get a copy of it.

    Thanks a bunch! I missed the boat on this one too and have been very curious to hear it without paying the crazy eBay price for something they will likely reissue.
    I love the stuff Mississippi records has put out, I just wish they did it a little more on the legit side so the artists who created the great music got proper compensation.
    The link isn’t working for me, but I’ll try back later.

    oh man.. you know, most of the reissues are legit and in the case of the most controversial reissue, the Kayes LP, the artists were actually compensated and given artists copies, just not the owner of the rights to the music.. who.. supposedly does not compensate artists at all..

    not sure if Lipa Kodi Ya will get reissued.. I think it will eventually.. the Kayes LP will not due to the issues surrounding that record..

    they just reissued the Bongo Joe LP and an Irma Thomas LP.. both are great..

    If you dig the Kayes LP be sure to check out this one:

    If you dig around that blog you’ll find quality rips of 4 other LPs on the Mali Music label (Kayes included).

    I had not read that they compensated the musicians and am glad to hear it.
