The story behind the Tekle releases on Amha:

As the Derg regime took over in 1974, business became increasingly difficult for Amha Records - the National Bank was not letting Amha get loans for production costs like they had for years before and importing records was becoming harder. Amha attempted to experiment with cheaper alternatives such as cassette, the first being one with Alemayehu Eshete and Girma Beyene. Amha also had the idea to fly to Greece (where most Amha releases were pressed) to buy a used record pressing machine from EMI to bring back to Ethiopia so records could be produced in country (All Ethiopian records were pressed in outside countries - usually Greece, India, Kenya).
 

Amha was in Athens trying to buy a pressing machine when he was contacted by his family and told not to return home. His father and the producer (name unknown) for the sessions for the Tesfazghi records in Tigray had been jailed, Tesfazghi was under investigation, and Harambee Music Shop had been shut down.

The Derg had already cleared these recordings for release despite the Tigray region being the main source of the armed resistance to them and production had already begun, but as the situation became more tense in that region the government decided to suppress the recordings. When the records did arrive, Amha was long gone, now living out his early days in exile with his sister in the UK. Most were presumably destroyed by the government.
 

No copies of either 45 seemed to come up until this year when a copy or two of AE 1000 "Abadit / Ab Kesri Berhana" showed up.
