I’m happy to report that Jonathan Ward’s new compilation of African 78s is shipping!
I’m sure most Haji Maji readers are familiar with Ward’s kick ass blog, Excavated Shellac, and this release cranks his blog up to “11”.
Published by Dust-to-Digital, Opika Pende features 100 tracks on 4 cds with a 100+ page hardcover book, plus the detailed research for which Ward is known.
Not only that, my wife designed the entire thing and it looks awesome.

HAJI MAJI 
Thanks for the tip, Dave. I just placed my order.
Comment by Gregg October 7, 2011 @ 9:25 pmWell, I’m listening to this now as I write. It just arrived today. Not only is the “package” so tastefully done, with clear thought and care, especially with the awesome layout and design, but the collection of music is so entirely fresh and beautiful. Wow!
