V/A - Essiebons Special 1973-1984

2LP Vinyl - AALP 093

Parsed from the power house label’s hundreds of releases between 1973-1984, there’s pure pressure for any self-respecting dancefloor here, running proper organ-fired heaters from a crack squad, including multiple zingers by Joe Meah, at best in the wigged-out vamps of ‘Ahwene Pa Nkasa’, beside a haul of Ernest Honny aces, including the suave ‘Kofi Psych’, his swirling groove ‘Say The Truth’, and the pen-on-pot Afro-Latinate percussion of ‘Odo Mframa.’

And it would be remiss of us to neglect the choppy psych-funk killer ‘Yeaba’ from CK Mann & His Carousel 7, or the fiery bustle of Nyame Bekyere, and jeeeez those breaks on ‘Wonnin a Bisa’ by Black Masters Band or Sawaaba Soundz’ ‘Egye Tu Gbe.’
