With an emphasis on the post-Biafran War early '70s and making a concerted effort to extend beyond the well-mined Lagos-centric scope, Nigeria Special brings together highlife and Afro-rock obscurities, many of which have never before been issued on CD. Boasting lovingly reproduced Waxpoetics-style sleeve spreads of all the sourced LPs and 45s and detailed biographies of the featured bands, this hefty comp is a testament to the wealth of music made in Nigeria in this golden age of African funk.
