Release Notes:

This is ultra rare stuff folks, enjoy!

Nigeria Rock Special shines a light on the flipside
to the well-documented sounds of Highlife and
Afrobeat coming out of Nigeria in the 1970s û young
bands caught up in the wave of Psychedelic &
Progressive Rock that was sweeping Europe and the
States in the late 60s and early 70s.

In the early 1970s the sound of Jimi Hendrix &
bands like Santana had started to seep into the
mainly soul ûbased sets of a handful of young bands
playing western influenced pop.

Spurred on by Cream drummer Ginger BakerÆs visits
to Lagos and his band Airforce (featuring many
Nigerian musicians), the sound of fuzzed out Rock
reverberated around the Universities and nightspots
of Lagos and Ibadan. The craze that followed hit
the youth & student population of Nigeria hard -
mixing fuzz-guitar & heavy African rhythms with
elements of Led Zeppelin, Traffic & the Chambers
Brothers.

Featuring tracks from cult bands like Mono Mono,
Ofege, The Action 13, The Elcados and Tunji Oyelana
amongst many others, this album contains 15 of the
best cuts from the scene, available for the first
time in 30 years.
