Ethiopiques Box.7" Vol 2

Heavenly Sweetness follow up their hugely successful box set of six rare original Ethiopian 7" singles, with a second volume, reissued for the first time. Includes original artwork and labels, plus a poster and six stickers of the covers. Limited edition of 2000 copies.

Many of the tracks were later included on the iconic Ethiopiques series of albums and compilations, which brought the treasures of the Ethiopian music scene of the '60s and '70s to a wider audience.

Includes tracks by soul and Ethio jazz singer Alemayehu Eshete, singer, composer and poet Ali Birra, vocalist Mahmoud Ahmed and saxophonist Seyoum Gebreyes.

The original 7"s are almost impossible to track down these days and sell individually for jaw-dropping amounts online.
