On their album The Best of Vis-A-Vis In Congo Style, the latest to be reissued by Toronto-based label We Are Busy Bodies (following the reissues of Odo Gu Ahorow,  Di Wo Ho Ni, and the seminal Obi Agye Me Dofo), Vis-a-Vis depart from their trademark style and add a heavy dose of Congolese rumba to the mix. Born out of the Cuban son wave of the 1930s and ‘40s, Congolese rumba was taking over the continent by the ’70s, and became a major influence on many styles of African popular music. Few bands, though, took it in the direction Vis-a-Vis did on this record: with vocalist Isaac “Superstar” Yeboah, Sammy Cropper on guitar, Slim Manu on bass, Gybson “Shaolin Kung-Fu” Papra on drums, and a cast of other musicians, The Best of Vis-A-Vis In Congo Style effortlessly combines the sunny atmospheres of highlife with the harmonized vocals and nimble guitar playing of rumba. 

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations

SHIPPING:

We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.

Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.

RETURNS:

Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.

If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.

Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.

CANCELLATIONS:

Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.

Thank you for your understanding.
