A superb compilation for your Monday mornings (feel free to save it until next week if it's no longer Monday morning where you are).

The Eccentric Soul series on the Numero Group has running for many years now, collections of mostly overlooked tracks, usually from the same label but occasionally curated by another common theme.

They've just (well, a week ago) released a compilation of magnificently driven and energetic funk and soul bangers from civil rights-era Greensboro NC. Outstanding stuff.

Okay, here's something much more positive. A new compilation on Analog Africa: Roots Rocking Zimbabwe - The Modern Sound of Harare Townships 1975-1980.

It's a bunch of thrilling and energetic sounds from Zimbabwe's years of fighting for independence and civil rights, musicians taking huge risks to stand against the apartheid government of the time.

A very interesting spot of #VariousArtists for you all this morning.

This is Born in the City of Tanta - Lower Egyptian Urban Folklore and Bedouin Shaabi from Libya's Bourini Records 1968-75. It's a fascinating world of songs from the northwest of Egypt, far from the cosmopolitan cities by the Nile, full of urgent and insistent beats and desert psychedelia.
