    Wow! A brilliant follow-up to Strut's essential Nigeria 70 compilation from a few years back!

    This is a brilliant compilation that will certainly appeal to fans of the Sound Way releases - sixteen tracks of obscure Nigerian music from the 1970s spanning afro-cosmic chuggers, to Fela-inspired afro-beat, to wicked afrofunk, to tough dancefloor highlife, to African reggae and beyond!

    Comes with extensive sleeve notes, sleeve scans and photos!

    Very highly recommended!
