Pacific Express - Black Fire (1976) EMI LP Only - Rare Soul/Funk/Jazz (FLAC)

Here we have a really outstanding band from South Africa who only recorded three studio albums before splitting up. They were known back in the day as the EWF of South Africa and used to pack the crowds in when touring. This was their superb debut album. This as the other two were LP only releases in the 1970.s. The band evolved from ’60s soul outfit the Pacifics and maintained a revolving door lineup over the years that served as a launching pad for up-and-comers on the Cape Town soul/jazz scene. Subsequent releases were issued on the local Gull label, which was instigated in part to market the band. This really is a killer!
