From the halcyon days of Nigeria's oil boom years in the 1970s sprang Sweet Breeze, a group made up exclusively of college undergraduates from the Institute of Management and Technology in Enugu, Eastern Nigeria. Their best-known album was this lost classic: Advice, which had been recorded in 1978 and was one of the most popular albums of its day. Featuring tracks such as "She's My Choice" and "God Is Love," this is the first time Advice has been digitally remastered, allowing the joyful and exalted high life and Afro-funk to shine through. Includes the original artwork and a new booklet with updated information.

The incomparable Fanta Damba, otherwise known as La Grand Vedette Malienne, was cherished for the sensitivity and emotion that she would bring to all of her work. She was also known as a griot -- a West African storyteller and historian who preserves ancient stories and traditions through song -- and was among the first female griots to achieve international fame. This superb album, recorded in 1979, and digitally remastered for the first time, has a guest appearance by the legendary kora player Batourou Sekou Kouyaté. It is a vintage slice of West African traditional music, lovingly created by the masters of their craft.

A vintage slice of extremely rare Nigerian electro-boogie, originally released in 1982 by Nkono Teles and digitally remastered here for the first time. Throughout the 1980s, the name "Nkono Teles" (or sometimes "Nkono Telex") was a regular feature in the credits of records by an array of Nigerian artists ranging from new wave funk and boogie acts like Dizzy K, Falola, Mandy Brown Ojugbana and Jombo, to reggae upstarts like Majek Fashek and Ras Kimono, to respected old hands like King Sunny Ade and Fela. Jombo's Pure Pleasure is one of the sleeper LPs from Nigeria that criminally fell by the wayside, but has now been restored to its former glory. Includes a new booklet with updated information and pictures.
