Lauded as possibly Zimbabwe's finest ever guitar band (especially by Andy Kershaw and John Peel, 2 BBC Radio 1 DJ's who championed their cause at the time), this is a concert from the first year of the period after the Bhundu Boys left Harare for the first time, when they first were trying to make it big in Europe.
