The Drive - Live (1975, RCL 1203)


You thought we had gone! But we're back, briefly for the first posting of 2017! By special request from a number of people, specifically for the track Africa Bossa, here is South African soul jazz funk band from the early seventies - The Drive. Whilst this is titled Drive Live it is in fact a studio recording with overdubbed crowd sounds. 

We have posted a number of other Drive LPs at electricjive before. You can check them out here.

Of interest to many will be the appearance of Bheki Mseleku on keys.

ENJOY! MF

  3. Thanks for the re-hydration and resuscitation after this year-long drought. Or, is it ten months to the day?

  6. That's amazing - thanks for posting this! I have the album 'Can You Feel It?' and it has virtually the same back cover - except the track listing is different, (Adam Glasser)

  7. I just used a lossless trimmer to divide this into the 6 separate tracks :

  8. @Simon666 The file was originally undivided because that is how the album plays , with overdubbed crowd in the spaces between the tracks.

  12. Uploaded this one from Zimbabwe. How I wish Matt could have stumbled upon the archives of Gallo local version, ZMC, for Zexie Manatsa and the Green arrows music which has gone virtually extinct except for songs on the 4-Track Recording Session and the Chipo Chiroorwa albums which keep being repeated all over, forgetting many other pieces which have been drowned by the passage of time.
