What determines the price?

Why is one record cheaper than another?

Some albums were released in multiple versions (pressings). There is the first pressing, which can be very valuable to collectors. When that stock runs out, a new pressing is made, called a repress or re-issue. These are often slightly different, such as a different sleeve or heavier vinyl.

Sometimes older albums are remastered, improving the sound quality. A new pressing is made for this as well. Differences in artwork or small production errors can also make a specific version more attractive.

What makes the difference in price?

For records that are not new, the market value is determined by scarcity and the condition of both the record and the sleeve. Pricing is based on supply and demand, and whether a version is limited or numbered.

Which variant should I choose?

If it’s mainly about the music, a repress is a good choice. An original or numbered edition has a different kind of appeal.

General notes about this release (please note: our version may differ a little. see the comments above):

'During the period of slavery, West-Africans have been brought to Surinam (formerly Dutch-Guyana). In the course of time the members of the different tribes have amalgated into the group that's called "Creole" and their traditional religions have ultimately integrated into a new religion called WINTI.

This religion holds a unique place in America, since it has not adopted many elements from the christian religions, like the VOODOO from Haiti, the SANTERIA from Cuba, the CANDOMBLE and MACUMBA from Brazil; but a few Amer-Indian elements.

This record is a statement of survival of African culture, even after 3 centuries sacred African drums can be heard like the APINTI and the ADJIDA.

This is AKREMA calling for the Spirits!'

Live recorded 15-4 and 16-4-'81 at Ideko sound studio.

Produced for Surinam Music Association in coöperation with Akrema.
