Tom Tom Club "Elephant" (Instrumental) (1981)

Truly adorable and very original piece of music that could have only been produced by the polymath crew at Compass Point, starring Adrian Belew's genius guitar wailing with Steven Stanley on the mix!

I’ll always be greatful to my friends for being around.
Even more so the opportunity this bloke gave me to review a brilliant, moving documentary about the best Reggae band you’ve never heard of.
Got to review a film last year with @100thingsfilm.bsky.social & @hallmarkofgreat.bsky.social that was quite special. This week the "soundtrack" arrived in the inbox. It is also special.
