REPOST Request:  Been really filling in lately on requests and here, I had a bunch of Twilight Zone blog's viewer posts from the comments albeit many more records to get for this Mandrill type band.  Per Discogs:  British Afro-pop band, founded in London in 1969 by four expatriate African and three Caribbean musicians.  Enjoy!

BONEY M - Take The Heat Off Me CD 76 w Nightflight To Venus LP 78 w Oceans Of Fantasy CD 79 w Gold-20 Super Hits CD w More Gold-20 Super Hits Vol. II CD w The Essential 2CD 12

 REPOST Request:  What I wrote before (NOTE TO SELF:  Get more of this band on youtube and by adding word 'blogspot' to all titles shown on Discogs).  Thanks to Antonio over at Rocketstar Records for letting me rip and return the only vinyl in this post shown on bottom, Nightflight To Venus which completely blew me away.  Thus, I had to find more out there on the internet and you can see from the title what I found and a lot of it.  But I really dig the vinyl I heard during ripping and always liked the band from what I heard on the K-tel compilations.

VA - CALYPSO CAPERS LP

 This release you get to be immersed in Harry Belafonte's Calypso scene in the Caribbean with others doing some of the songs he would make more well known like for instance "Zombie Jamboree" or the all time classic 'Matilda Matilda' among others.  Musicians doing the songs are:  Wilmoth Houdini, The Count of Monte Cristo and Congo Bey and The Monarchs.
