According to the liner notes it was probably the first African album recorded in stereo in the US. Olatunji had many well known fans - John Coltrane, Dizzy Gillespie, Santana, Bob Dylan, Bob Weir, et al. Santana covered "Jin-Go-Lo-Ba" on their first LP. Bob Dylan name-checked Olatunji on his "Freewheelin'" album. Olatunji played on Cannonball Adderley's "African Waltz" album in 1961. The recording sounds very good, nice space and three dimensionality. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babatunde_Olatunji
