Release Notes:
--------
Originally released in 1970, this album is lifted from Nigerian innovator (and
so-called "evil genius of highlife") Victor Olaiya's funk fusion period. "Victor
Olaiya is certainly one of the legendary foundation stones of modern Nigerian
music, yet he has never received much acknowlegement or really had his albums
released or promoted in any quantity outside of Nigeria. So this Vampisoul
release is a step in the right direction and not before time, for a 77 years old
who was probably Nigeria's leading star of 50's and early 60's, his golden
years. Dr. Victor Abimbola Olaiya, the evil genius of Highlife, is still sockin'
it to them after 60 years on stage. If you're lucky you can catch him blowing
that trumpet and singing his heart out at his own celebrated 'Stadium Hotel' in
Lagos, Nigeria. This album from 1970 is from Olaiya's Highlife / Funk phase, but
its worth taking a trawl through his back pages to see how he became the Evil
Genius, before you roll back the rug and get down with the Highlife-Funk."
