This expanded edition includes bonus tracks, previously unseen photos, a glow-in-the-dark flag insert, and new cover art created by André 3000.
Deep Berlin steppers. Dubwise traces of our original Lagos recording — the percussion of Yinka Ogunye, the singing of fifties palmwine legend Rolling Dollar, Oscar Olimbi’s guitar lick — blend in with Moritz’ own warm Oberheim voicings, additional drumming, and cool-and-deadly rhythm track. It’s a tough, masterly dance record in fine Rhythm And Sound style (evoking vintage House, too) — which during its ten-and-a-half minutes seems to ponder time elapsed and journeys undertaken.
Reggae Land Dub is the thumping, pared-down dub of Wareika Hill Sounds’ rootical rework of Ise Nla. Magnificent trombone and percussion; expert, classical JA mixing. Brings to mind the versions of Black Man Stand Up Pan Foot.
Test pressing.
The 45 reissue of a Tune Town 78, and a scorcher of a CD generously covering various late-fifties Ike Turner projects.
Basic primer; excellent film.
