Reissued with two bonus tracks ("Stupidity" and "Respect"). "The release of Find Us A Way in May 1967 coincided with The La De Das' first exploratory trip to Australia. This one is even better than the first LP, with more original compositions and a more mature soulful rock approach, including the snarling singles 'Find Us a Way' and 'All Purpose Low.' It's a more mod and beat psychedelic related release, tracks like 'Goodbye Sister' or 'Thank You For The Flowers' are a good example of that."

Reissued with two bonus tracks ("Don't Stand On My Way" and "Hey Girl"). "The La De Da's were a leading New Zealand rock band of the 1960s and early 1970s. Formed in New Zealand in 1963 (as The Mergers), they enjoyed considerable success in both New Zealand and Australia until their split in 1975. Here is their first LP, a long time awaited reissue, this is maybe one of the best R&B/garage records out of New Zealand and Australia during the '60s. Tunes like 'How Is The Air Up There' or 'On Top Of The World' are among the best in the genre. It's a masterpiece from 1966, for every rock, garage or mod fans around the globe, this is the best you can get."

"While national newspapers portrayed them as 'hordes of sloppy, aggressive, be-jeaned louts and their girlfriends who cause so much trouble in South Africa,' a whole new generation of garage rockers was flooding the clubs with savage, primitive fuzz sounds. No doubt South Africa was the in-place in Mother Africa in the '60s, with a strong scene as can be heard on the Cazumbi compilations and this new Zulu Stomp that is exclusively dedicated to that country. Expect some of the best garage music you've ever heard from Africa, and don't miss this one if you liked Cazumbi... This release includes an insert with liner notes plus a bunch of rare photos. Great remastered sound as well."

"'60s garage rock and jerk out of South Africa, Angola, Mozambique, Ghana, Madagascar and Cameroun! Yes guys, there's still much more to offer! If you were raving on Cazumbi Vol. 1, wait to hear the second. I swear, it's much, MUCH better than the first! Absolutely stunning collection of 21 tracks, ranging from the more sophisticatedly produced (but hell, WILD!!!!) fuzzy garage sounds of South African groups like The Gonks, Birds of a Feather, Them or The Invaders, to the primitive raw garage, beat and jerk of Tall Emma & His Skipper (from Ghana with their killer Hammatan), Vum Vum and Os Rocks from Angola, Les Kilts from Cameroun, Les Safari and Les Jokers from Madagascar, and a good number of Mozambique combos. This brilliant release comes with great artwork, and an insert is included with photos and information on some of the groups and the African '60s rock scene. Limited release of 500 papersleeve CDs. Fully remastered sound."
