Nigeria 70 (Lagos Jump: Original Heavyweight Afrobeat, Highlife & Afro-Funk) released on Strut in 2008.
Nigeria 70: Lagos Jump, another essential box of West African dynamite with the emphasis firmly on the dancefloor. From the heavy jazz of Peter King to Bola Johnson’s scratchy Afro funk and the rolling grooves of juju legend Sir Shina Peters, the album captures a rich and unique era in West African music.
"...a brilliant panorama of the country's popular music in the 1970s" (Pitchfork, 8.5)
