DIGITAL ALBUM
NOVEMBER 2019: 40th-anniversary deluxe vinyl repressing of Tete Mbambisa’s Did You Tell Your Mother of 1979 under the creative direction of Eating Standing Records in Italy. Hargreaves Ntukwana’s original ink drawing was revisited to carefully reproduce the album’s iconic cover, which replicates the SRK 786148 first pressing and honours producer Rashid Vally’s minimalist vision. We reached even deeper into the As-Shams Archive to add a rare Hargreaves Ntukwana printed insert advertising the Kohinoor Store, the Johannesburg jazz hub where the album was originally distributed.
