INTRODUCTION

Ogun Recordings

 

The purpose of this blog is to review every album that has been released by my favourite record label, Ogun Records. I was an eager consumer of their albums as a teenager in the seventies and still harbour a profound love for the explosively passionate music that they have released.


I recently began to post reviews of each chronological Ogun album release for the Jazz Exiles.. /South African/ Caribbean Jazz group on Facebook. However, the changes currently proposed for Facebook by its management go violently against all of my principles as a human being so I'm going to republish what I have already posted there on this blog, then add new entries as I go along. I will try to maintain reasonably regular updates but do have a lot of other commitments, so your patience is appreciated. I will also be enabling comments here for the good people at Facebook - there are still some - but if any troll or spammer takes advantage of that, the facility will be discontinued immediately and without ceremony. I'm really hoping that doesn't happen because it isn't what this blog is supposed to be about. Anyway, I trust you will enjoy this incrementally-advancing history of a thoroughly incredible and mould-breaking record label.
