    Extremely hard-to-obtain album from the Ghanaian master composer, producer and musician. Originally released in 1982 by the WEA International label and then again in Germany in 1985 by Ambolley himself. The album is a potent mix of highlife, disco and boogie sonics perfectly and features the monster, club-friendly cut, 'Highlife'!
