Bought this totally of-the-cuff and absolutely love it. So much going on in terms of styles and beats. A wee gem!

excellent 17 May 2010
Format:Audio CD
A good sampling of the highly varied Lagos music scene in the 70's

A couple of horrors but hey! that's what it was like and superb most of the time

Funky Black Africa 24 Jun 2008
By Thomas Stanley - Published on Amazon.com
This is a great album showing the fertile popular music environment of the post-colonial 70s where high-life found fenders and branched out into a mind-expanding brew of African rhythms and funk. The most notable monument of that era is Fela Kuti's Afropop movement, but artists like Ify Jerry's Crusade and the Peacocks Guitar Band are proof that other Nigerians were putting out credible offerings in the Afro-psychedelic period.

Jump Indeed! 10 April 2009
By Craig Riecke - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
A lot of reviewers have compared this to the similarly timed Nigeria Special: Modern Highlife, Afro-Sounds and Nigerian Blues. I like them both, but I give this one the edge - it feels less fluffy, more experimental, better sequenced, and a bit more funky. Bola Johnson's Ezuku Buzu feels every bit the little atomic weapon that James Brown's Sex Machine is. Peacock's Guitar Band is mesmerizing. There are really no boring songs.

Really, the recent Nigerian 70's releases bring back THE HOOK. Find that groove and do it to death! Get this album and you'll wake up in the morning humming these hooks to yourself ... or else I feel really sorry for you.
