This is ultra rare stuff folks, enjoy!

Nigeria Rock Special shines a light on the flipside to the well-documented sounds of Highlife and Afrobeat coming out of Nigeria in the 1970s – young bands caught up in the wave of Psychedelic & Progressive Rock that was sweeping Europe and the States in the late 60s and early 70s.

In the early 1970s the sound of Jimi Hendrix & bands like Santana had started to seep into the mainly soul ûbased sets of a handful of young bands playing western influenced pop.

Spurred on by Cream drummer Ginger Baker’s visitsto Lagos and his band Airforce (featuring many Nigerian musicians), the sound of fuzzed out Rockreverberated around the Universities and nightspots of Lagos and Ibadan. The craze that followed hit the youth & student population of Nigeria hard – mixing fuzz-guitar & heavy African rhythms with elements of Led Zeppelin, Traffic & The Chambers Brothers.

Featuring tracks from cult bands like Mono Mono, Ofege, The Action 13, The Elcados and Tunji Oyelana amongst many others, this album contains 15 of the best cuts from the scene, available for the first time in 30 years.
