V.A. - Highlife On The Move: Selected Nigerian & Ghanaian Recordings from London & Lagos 1954-66
Pressung Original BemerkungenA special triple 180-gram vinyl release, presented in a gatefold sleeve. The included 45rpm 7-inch includes the two first ever recordings by a certain Fela Ransome Kuti with his band The Highlife Rakers. Recorded by Melodisc in London in 1960, both tracks have been unearthed after more than fifty years in hiding. In many ways this compilation is a prequel of sorts to Soundway's groundbreaking 'Nigeria' and 'Ghana Special' compilations, telling the early story of modern highlife's foundation and formulation. It traces the music from West-Africa to London, adding elements of jazz, mambo and calypso along the way and paving the way for the Afro sounds of the 1970s. The accompanying 12-page booklet contains notes by Dr. Coester, rare photographs, labels and advert reproductions.
