Really surprised (pleasantly) by the quality of this pressing. The tracks don't have a great source, yet VMP makes them come to life. And of course the dense booklet is a nice touch and an interesting read. -
Fantastic Heavy Funk Album, very good sound quality, nice booklet.A must for Afro funk fans.

Wells Fargo were part of a counterculture that has been almost totally forgotten, even in its country of origin. In the 1970s, during the last decade of Zimbabwe’s War of Independence, rock music exploded with a message of unity and hope. Wells Fargo was at the forefront of the “Heavy Music” movement serving as fuel for the fight. Originally released as a series of singles, this is the first time their music has been released since its initial, limited pressing. More than four decades later we proudly present to you, in collaboration with Now Again Records, Watch Out for the first time in album form.
