An Aswad selection to welcome the week. Formed in 1974, Aswad are still going strong, albeit reduced to the core duo of Drummie Zeb (Angus Gaye to his family) and keyboard player Tony 'Gad' Robinson. This playlist covers the period 1976 to 1983 and includes a couple of tracks from Live And Direct, one of the greatest live albums, full stop. Aswad went a bit pop in the late 1980s and 1990s and whilst I enjoy that period, their earlier albums and versions are unbeatable.
1) African Children (David Jensen Session, 17 November 1983)
2) It's Not Our Wish (Disco Mix) (1981)
3) Drum And Bass Line (Album Version) (1982)
4) Warrior Charge (Disco Mix) (1981)
5) Your Recipe (Live @ Meanwhile Gardens, Notting Hill Carnival, 26 August 1983)
6) Judgement Day (1979)
7) Back To Africa (Album Version) (1976)
8) Rainbow Culture (Disco Mix) (1981)
9) Not Guilty (Live @ Meanwhile Gardens, Notting Hill Carnival, 26 August 1983)
10) Pass The Cup (12" Version) (1982)
