Seminal album from cult Ghanaian musician Alhaji K. Frimpong, recorded in 1976 and considered to be one of the best highlife albums ever recorded.
Features the masterpiece Kyenkyen Bi Adi M’awu (come back my love) - universally known in Ghana, covered and sampled by artists such as Chronnix, Gnarls Barkley and many more.
Backed by Vis a Vis - one of the most influential bands to come out of the Ghana Highlife / Afro Rock movement.
Unique avant garde sound that blends traditional highlife percussion and horns with synthesizers.
Original copies of the album are extremely rare. The album was reissued in limited quantities in 2011 and has been unavailable since - even reissue copies sell for high prices on the secondhand market.
Record Store Day exclusive pressing comes on Blue vinyl with heavyweight sleeve.

Grace F. ★★★★★

The blue vinyl looks sharp, but it's the sound of *Kyenkyen Bi Adi M’awu* that really pulls me in—that track alone is worth the price. Pressing is clean, no pops on my first spin through.

Lily D. ★★★★☆

I was blown away by how crisp the highlife rhythms sound on this 1976 pressing—Kyenkyen Bi Adi M’awu finally gets the vinyl treatment it deserves. Only wish the sleeve had a bit more liner note detail, but the music itself is flawless.

Ellie ★★★★☆

The pressing quality is excellent — dead quiet between tracks — and the mastering really brings out the warmth in those vintage horns. Only wish the liner notes included more info about the original 1976 session.
