      Reissue of this super rare album that's fetched more £500 on discogs. Scarcely seen so we salute Academy LPs for reissuing this lost gem.

      Born in 1951 in Kumasi, Ghana, the highlife vocalist, Pat Thomas, made his name with his band the Swee Beans. He began his carreer in 1969 with the Broadway Dance Band, leaving a year later to join the Uhuru Dance Band. Then he played with Ebo Taylor’s Blue Monks and finally formed the Sweet Beans in 1973. They released ‘False Lover’ in 1974, then split and-reformed as Marijata, releasing ‘Marijata’ and ‘Pat Thomas Introduces Marijata’.
