Elton John - The Captain and the Kid - the more I listen to this the more I like it - reminiscent of his former glory days - favourite track - Tinder Box.

Traffic – The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys
Some lekker funky stuff on this album from 1971, and a cool die cut album cover. For those of you who don’t understand, lekker is an Afrikaans work that describes all things good/cool/enjoyable/pleasing – used all the time in SA, no matter which of the eleven official languages you speak. Everyone knows exactly what you mean if you say something’s ‘lekker’ – the only difference is in the way it’s pronounced. Phonetically, it could be lacquer, or could be lehker. And there you go. Anthropology lesson over. Lol!
From the record cabinet (which is large, fortunately), I like Chris Wood’s flute and sax which are all over this album (although, they all acquit themselves very nicely thank you) and the super duper percussion, courtesy of one Rebop Kwaku Baah …
The title track …
I always found the title of this album fascinating for some or other bizarre reason...….
