ALBUM NOTES
1982/3 – Somewhere in Afrika
Re-Mastered 1999 Mann 013
Released in Europe by Bronze in late 1982, in the UK in 1983 and in a revised form in the States in 1984. This album as indicated by the title has a strong African flavour and uses a variety of African singers and chants to good effect long before others tried to do this. Despite the strong African feel the album is still strongly Earth Band. Highlights are many but must include a brilliant version of Bob Marley’s “Redemption Song” and Sting’s “Demolition Man”. The US version featured the hit single “Runner” and another new song “Rebel” as well as the return of Mick Rogers.
