Theres some discussion going on at another forum if I Kong's Africa Calling lp is the overdubbed version of his first record, The Way it Is. You hear that too among you lot?

(i maybe understand bad the question) i have "the way is it" and i had try "africa calling", same album with anothers names for the tracks and different order, the sound quality (bad) too is the same if im not wrong, no one are only dubs...

why i dont understand the question exactly:
what mean "overdubbed"? when the songs end by dub? i think really that i had look and was a no, i cant be sure at 100% cause of this thread now lol, but well, a friend have both and i can ask him...

hehe, by chance i have keep some songs of "africa calling"...
well, the sound of the albums are differents, right, but tell it dub for africa calling looks kiddies about some little details, the sound is more deep but not so dubbed for me...
And a song called "whoe whoe" are in the africa calling version and not in the way is it, the albums are not exactly sames, sry (and maybe i forget something)

Fab, it was more a question of overdubbing on the drum parts, that the original drums had been replaced by 80s syndrums, typical of its time, while the original vocal was still there. I only have Africa Calling and only heard a few cuts off the first record, The Way It Is, a few months ago. So I can't compare them at this moment, that's partly why I asked. That is an album that most of us would be glad if they rereleased one of these days, I mean The Way It Is

ok about drums, i was confused... The way is it is better for me, the sound is "pure", in Africa calling the sound is more right, more diriged if you see what i mean, i have the way is it in mp3*, and if i understand well you collect in original formats... but if you want i can send you

Umm, thanks Fab for the offer, but I'll wait until I find a good copy of it

If you're looking for good quality of "The way it is" try to get the cd-release from 1992 on french Lagoon label. They retitled the album in "Ghetto Cry".

Lagoon/Esoldun/Crocodisc/Jet Set is all one and the same - a pirate. But I'll look around, thanks for the tip, Belly.
