🚨 RECORD OF THE WEEK 🚨
👑 Janet Jackson – Rhythm Nation 1814

It’s Women's Month, we're celebrating one of music's most influential artists with a true landmark album.

Released in 1989, Rhythm Nation 1814 redefined what a pop album could be. Blending pop, R&B, funk, new jack swing and socially conscious storytelling, Janet Jackson delivered an album that was both a commercial powerhouse and a bold artistic statement. Featuring classics like Miss You Much, Escapade, Rhythm Nation, and Love Will Never Do (Without You), it remains one of the defining albums of its era.

More than three decades later, its message of unity, empowerment and positive change still resonates, making it a fitting Record Of The Week as we celebrate Women's Month in South Africa.

🎶 ROTW | Record Of The Week 🎶
This week we're shining the spotlight on a true South African classic — Harari – Genesis (1977).

A groundbreaking fusion of Afro-rock, funk, soul, jazz, and psychedelic influences that helped shape the sound of a generation.

Harari were pioneers in every sense of the word. They became the first black pop/rock band to appear on South African television and the first black band to headline their own show at Johannesburg's Colosseum Theatre. Their fearless blending of styles and cultures made them one of the country's most important musical exports.

💿 Genesis is widely regarded as one of the essential albums in South African music history, and original pressings have become increasingly sought-after by collectors worldwide. Finding a clean 1977 copy is becoming harder every year, making this a special addition to any serious collection.

Harari – Genesis – GL 1930
Cover Condition: Very Good (VG)
Media Condition: Very Good (VG)
Price: R2000.00

Whether you're a collector of rare South African vinyl, a fan of Afro-funk grooves, or looking to discover a landmark local recording, Genesis deserves a place on your turntable.
