lagos disco inferno

Some call it disco, some call it boogie, we call it the LAGOS DISCO INFERNO: 12 smokin' rarities straight from Nigeria, dating back to '76-82, compiled by Frank Gossner (aka DJ Franc O, Soulpusher) of VOODOO FUNK fame. Surprisingly familiar, yet intriguingly foreign, these tracks sound just as fresh today as they did 30+ years ago. This record is rife with horns, moog and bells and whistles to keep you up all night. Great liner notes by Dean Disi (journalist and former executive of TYC Records, Lagos) and a special message from extreme record hunter Damian Iwuagwu (Lagos). Following the footsteps of amazing African reissues of late such as Ofege (Academy LPs), Pax Nicholas and the Netty Family (Daptone), Ghana Special (Soundway), this album stands alone as the first compilation to focus on African disco. But make no mistake, you won't hear any cheesy strings or nasty Roland synths. This is straight up tough NIGERIAN DISCO FUNK! Restored for you with loving care from Academy LPs. Work it out! Comes in luxury double gatefold LP cover.
