Before the completists get all uppity, I know that this download is NOT the entire album. However, this is just too fun to keep to myself, maybe you can track down a complete version of it. 5 Revolutions were yet another delicious pop-psych group from Zambia. Recently I learned that many of these great Zambian recordings we have been loving here were made possible through the tireless work of Mr. Edward Khuzwayo, a Zambian promoter and music entrepeneur. Sadly Khuzwayo passed away recently. His very informative obituary can be read here. R.I.P Mr. Khuzwayo, here's the 5 Revolutions.

fabulous. thanks for sharing this. totally worth it.
Wait, didn't you post this a long time ago? or was this on awesome tapes from africa?
love these Zambian posts, thanks.
These Zambian post are most excellent!
This is pretty great!!! Thanks Ace!
amazing shit
Thanks much, this stuff's all great.
These are all filler except You Don't Know me... I don't know what all these amazing comments are about. You could probably post the Agathocles/Psycho split say its great and have everyone agree with you.
Oh look, more worthless novelty from the Cosmic Arse!
Ah, a hater. I have finally made it.
if its enjoyable to some, why hate? at least leave your name. no big deal of course.

Thanks for the link to the obit., interesting stuff. I can't wait for things by the Tinkles to, um, float to the surface...
I am totally digging this. Thanks.
Man I love this group! I also found this on Awesome Tapes from Africa originally and they instantly became one of my all time favorites. Remind me a lot of early Can actually but with a groove that just melts in the pocket. Very very nice post!
I lived and worked in Zambia at the time the 5 revolutions were at their best. Used to have two albums, but theij got lost on transition from Zambia to Holland. Fun to hear the songs again
