Now-Again Issues The Never Before Released Gate Crash ’78 On RSD 2026.
Includes Oversized, 8 Page Booklet That Details Paul Ngozi And The Ngozi Family's Arc, Including Rare Photographs, Discography And Annotation. The lost Ngozi Family/Chissy Zebby Tembo album! Only ever test pressed and never commercially released, Now-Again presents the ultimate Zamrock rarity and an essential entry from Zambian guitarist and bandleader Paul Ngozi’s catalog.
Zamrock was a bona-fide rock scene: on the African continent, only Nigeria can claim one so comprehensive, and Nigeria’s was largely catalyzed and funded by subsidiaries of the European major labels - Zamrock was as independent as its newlynamed country, formerly known as Northern Rhodesia - Zamrock is startling in its completeness, especially for a scene that emerged, unfurled, and disappeared so quickly.
From Musi-0-Tunya's fusion of Fela's Afro-beat, Hendrix's rock, South African jazz and traditional Zambian melodies and rhythms to Salty Dog's acid folk/rock, Zambia's rock scene contained all of rock's subgenres - Zamrock was much more than an imitation of American and European rock music: it quickly became a uniquely Zambian movement, befitting of its name.
WITCH, Paul Ngozi and Amanaz sound nothing like other rock music from the African continent-or elsewhere - Zamrock came from a nation's youth carrying forth the momentum of a political and social revolution with a musical revolution that maintained the fiery power of early rock-in the mid-to late-'70s - From that era, Zamrock's energy is matched only by the Punk and Hip Hop scenes in England and America.
Now-Again now issues this never before released full-length which includes an 8 page booklet, filled with rare photos and details on the Ngozi Family’s musical journey, for Record Store Day 2026.
*Limited to 1 copy per customer/household, multiple orders will be cancelled without notice.
