Miles Cleret might just have the best ear of any record digger alive. Here he is with another drop dead set of Nigerian singles & lp tracks, all of them serious obscurities which haven't been available elsewhere (looking at you, Now Again). Fela pushed the new & aggressive sound of Afrobeat upon his return from a trip to California in 70, and a wave of youth-oriented, progressive-minded, hotfoot funky music & attitude swept the country as fast as if the water supply had been dosed. From calypso old-timers suddenly forced to take a new direction, to organ players suddenly burning with a desire to blow speakers, this collection captures the urgency. Tracklisting: Fela Ransome Kuti & Africa 70-Who're You, Eric Showboy Akaeze & His Royal Ericos-We Dey Find Money, Anansa Professionals-Enwan, Saxon Lee & the Shadows International-Mind Your Business, Bongos Ikwue & the Groovies-Otachikpokpo, Orlando Julius & His Afro Sounders-Afro Blues, Madman Jaga-Hamkuri, Godwin Omabuwa & his Casanova Dandies-Do the Afro Shuffle, Segun Bucknor's Revolution-Bgomojo, Black Santiagos-Ole.
