The Rhythmatist (40th Anniversary Edition)

Following the breakup of the Police, their drummer Stewart Copeland undertook a musical Odyssey through the heart of Africa in search of the roots of Rock & Roll. Originally released as both a film (directed and produced by Jean-Pierre Dutilleux) and album in 1985, 'The Rhythmatist' preceded amongst other albums, the release of 'Graceland' by Paul Simon which was to follow in 1986. The album produced by Stewart along with Jeff Seitz, featured the singles 'Koteja (Oh Bolilla)' featuring Ray Lema a major figure in world music himself as well as 'Gong Rock'. This brand new edition comes with exclusive refreshed artwork in a digisleeve package with 12 page booklet featuring photos, memorabilia and archive imagery and the album is newly mastered from the original master tapes by Phil Kinrade at Air Studios. Additionally this CD includes never before heard unreleased versions of 'Gong Rock' along with previously unreleased on CD Chris Lord-Alge remixes of 'Gong Rock' plus Single Versions of 'Koteja (Oh Bolilla)' and 'Gong Rock'.
