DAN BIONDI & AFRICAN INTERNATIONALS : Money Is The Root Of All Evil  ( NAAP 7709) 1977 Original private press on Chicago lanel (500 pressed)...Rare lp from Afro Funk to Highlife to Reggae.....From the internet I copied this review : <p>"Browsing through the pages of Dan Boadi's press pack, it becomes pretty obvious that he's not new to world of music.  With four decades of recording, writing, and performing behind him Bodi has become a fixture of sorts in contemporary world music. He first rose to prominence in the mid-70's, topping the national charts of his native Ghana with an LP titled Abrabo, which, according to the liner notes, 'sold like apples'. Riding this regional success, Boadi decided, with a little coaxing from his entrepreneurial friend Robert Minta, to try his luck in the United States. In 1978, Boadi arrived in Chicago and with little fanfare, he and Minta released Money is the Roos of Evil in a limited run of 500 copies. Under the hue of late 70's disco production, the LP's two funk/disco cuts, 'Money is the Root of Evil' and 'Play That Funky Music' launched the propulsive Afro-Beat of Nigeria's Fela Kuti into the majestic, psychedelic abandon of the American dancefloor -- or at least that was the intention.  What should have become a venerable monster on the early Loft/Warehouse disco scene passed unnoticed.  A dejected Boadi returned to Ghana, unable to get a grasp on his would-be American market. Money is the Root of Evil has stood the test of time and we believe that the energy and atmosphere of Dan Boadi's music remains prescient. Both songs drip of the sweat of the dancefloor -- each swinging with a tight, static Afro-Beat/disco/funk-fused propulsion <p> Cover has light wear and light staining along cover opening, upper right hand corner..tiny edge chip on lowe seam...Labels hace small name in pen...Disc has some surface wear/ scuffs, nothing deep plays well @ VG+ to VG++ with some occasional light surface noise.....VG+/VG+......NO RESERVE!!!.......SEE PICTURES BELOW........CHECK OUT MY OTHER AUCTIONS FOR MORE RARE AND OBSCURE LPS.....PLEASE READ BELOW!!!!

PACKAGING/SHIPPING/POSTAGE:PLEASE NOTE: I have set my shipping prices to cover my cost on an average basis. Your box may cost me a bit less to mail than I charged you, or a bit more.Priority postage can vary from zip code to zip code and Records and jackets don't all weigh the same amount, therefore I can't set a "perfect" price for everyone, ESPECIALLY INTERNATIONAL! I ship all lp's in a new rigid custom LP mailer and filler pads with the disc in inner sleeve placed behind cover to prevent seam splitting in transit. Part of my postage fee covers the cost of the mailer and pads. I DO NOT use flimsy "freebie" post office priority mailers!...
