That was a real treat. There are six songs (pieces) on the album: Side One — “A Song for Brazil,” “Vasco Da Gama,” and “For the Love of You”; Side Two — “Colonial Man,” “Witch Doctor,” and “Cecil Rhodes.”

If there was ever a perfect album, COLONIAL MAN is it. Another nice thing about the LP cover is that instead of liner notes, the words to the songs are provided.

I have no idea whether the album is now on CD. In any event, it does not seem that amazon.com carries it.
