Djamel Allam- Laissez-Moi Raconter (L'Escargot, 1976)



Groovy progressive folk debut from Algerian musician Djamel Allam. Recorded in France in 1976 with a large-sized studio ensemble. All kinds of creative arrangements & liquid basslines up in this piece. Tracks 1, 6 & 8 are my favorites. 320 vinyl rip by yours truly. Enjoy!

Great find, Nick!
Where in the world do you record shop?

ha! you should know that i can't tell you that, holly. sike. i found this allam record for cheap on ebay awhile back. i'm only now starting to dive into ebay & discogs buying, though. most of what i've posted so far comes from my backlog as a used vinyl buyer at plan 9 music (in VA), thrifting (also in VA), and shopping at exiled, mississippi & clinton street records (here in portland). thrifting in this town bites.
