Ultra Rare, unique, Essential !
Fully licensed with King Bucknor himself.
Remastered by The Carvery ( UK) .
An exciting, hypnotic and classy mix of William Onyeabor and Fela Kuti. Keyboards drive side A but the terrific ‘Simigwa Soca’ the brings in side B reveals the drums and highlife horns taking over to accompany this man’s amazing baritone vocals. Funky Ghana! Tim Mee
If the rest of this collection is even a fraction as good as this first track, then this record is going to absolutely blow my mind! (Update: mind has been blown.) Scott
A lost funky jazz-fusion record from the the late '70s that fairly burbles over with the exuberance of its players. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 12, 2019
