Own Affairs was, in 1984, the first full-length album by the Kalahari Surfers, the recording identity of South African musician Warrick Sony.
Sony had worked as a freelance sound engineer in the South African film industry, and used this to acquire many of the sound samples he later used in his music.[1] Shifty Records tried to release Own Affairs, but could not find a vinyl plant which would press it.[2] Chris Cutler's London-based Recommended Records pressed the album, the start of a long-standing alliance. Own Affairs was hailed as breathtaking, innovative and humorous by the Weekly Mail.[3] The Sunday Times called it "a music born from the spilled seed of our national sickness and nurtured to nightmarehood in the moral drought of daily life/politics".[4]
