Description:

The pinnacle of Afro-disco! The long-awaited vinyl reissue of Nigerian disco master Steve Monito's 1984 disco boogie masterpiece! After the Nigerian Civil War, Monito moved to London to admire the music of Barry White and Michael Jackson, and recorded this album with the support of Nigeria's EMI. After witnessing the disco craze in New York, Terres was determined to incorporate synthesizers into Nigerian music, and he boldly introduced the Moog to Nigeria after he secured EMI Studios, which was also used by Paul McCartney & Wings at the time. He boldly introduced the mogues. The result was a one-of-a-kind work that blended floaty disco boogie with somewhat spacy synthesizers. The album did not sell well at the time, but when it was rediscovered, its reputation changed dramatically. Today, the original version of the album sells for over USD1000, and it is known as the pinnacle of Afro-disco.
