I've been lurking way too long on here; time to take the jump and make a post:I found a sealed copy of Yabby-U's African Queen on Clappers (clp-1986). Anyone know if this has been reissued? It appears old enough to be from the early 80s, but I'm not sure. The back cover says, "Manufactured & Distributed by Clappers Records/Rounder Records 186 Willow Ave, Sommerville, MA." I thought Clappers was a New York Label? Any idea what the story could be?Thanks

    I have the same pressing as you, and I wondered
    about the Rounder credit, but the label inside does
    completely match the one on roots-archive:

    I'm not aware of a reissue, and Rounder would
    have been doing this distro around the time of
    this release, not much later, so I'm pretty certain
    it's an original.

    By the way, if you don't open that puppy and play it,
    you're insane. Totally killer album, with ill dubs.
