Various Artists, The Best of Music and Rhythm, 1983 on PVC Records
Shortened single-LP version (there’s a 2xLP version as well, PVC 201) of a record released to commemorate and benefit the WOMAD festival (World of Music and Dance). Peter Gabriel founded WOMAD as an organization in 1980 and the 1982 festival was the first.
The festival for which this LP serves as a benefit was held at the Royal Bath and West Showground, near Shepton Mallet in Somerset, from Friday, July 16th, until Sunday, July 18th, 1982. The W.O.M.A.D. festival intended to focus wider public attention upon the traditional and contemporary arts of non-west cultures, as practiced in the U.K. and throughout the world.
Wonderful eclectic compilation including Gabriel, XTC, David Byrne, and the English Beat (credited as “The Beat” on the label, but “The English Beat” on the cover- it is a US pressing), along with Mighty Sparrow, Ekome, Prince Nico Mbarga, and Rico.
My copy via a record fair at Mill No. 5 in Lowell MA.
