K FRIMPONG RE-ISSUED ON WAX!


Very funky + very psychedelic Ghanian highife master K Frimpong had a couple of the hottest cuts on the Ghana Soundz complilations. His picture even graces the cover of volume 2. So the headz should be rejoicing that someone finally got around to re-issuing an entire LP. The album, from 1977, has Frimpong backed by his Cubano Fiestas, which is the same as his Vis-a-Vis group. Ill brew of highlife, funk and soul with space-y psych touches via some seriously cosmic electric keys. Totally essential. Save yourself a few hundred bucks, too. Of course the original would be nice too though....
