Liner Notes "NIGERIA, 1970. HIGHLIFE, AFRO-BEAT, ROCK, JAZZ & NATIVE BLUES RUB SHOULDERS AND ARE TURNED OUT AT AN UNPRECEDENTED LEVEL. NEW STYLES MEET OLD STYLES. NEWFOUND NATIONAL CONFIDENCE FOLLOWS THE NEAR BREAK-UP OF THE NATION FOLLOWING THE BIAFRAN WAR. NEW FASHIONS MEET OLD FASHIONS, CREATING NEW FUSIONS. 5 YEARS IN THE MAKING, SOUNDWAY PRESENT 26 ORIGINAL AND PREVIOUSLY UN-REISSUED TRACKS FROM THE TIME. OBSCURE A-SIDES, B-SIDES & ALBUM CUTS THAT HAVE RESISTED A SECOND LOOK UNTIL NOW."
