I was going to post this too. I was listening in traffic on the M11 when I should have been parking south of the Thames. I thought the programme got the emphasis on the performers, as opposed to the crate diggers, right. Miles Cleret's comments about being offended by people asking if the artists were treated fairly struck me as maybe a little disingenuous, as it's not as if it's unheard of for old musicians in Africa, or the USA or the UK or anywhere, to be ripped off. ...Just don't mention that map.

also he appears to have been released (booted?) on African Shakedown vol 1. Seem to be a limited 500 only press. Interesting stuff.
