Description

 

Two beautiful highlife tunes by the master of the genre!

 

“Nimpa Nawie” is a philosophical song, composed and sung by the legendary Joss Aikins, about the fact that no human being can tell how life will end. “Akole Manuma Dibi” is sung and composed by Bob Cole.

 

Artist: E. T. Mensah & His Tempos Band
Label: Decca West Africa, WA 968
Format: 10'' single, 78 rpm

[A] Nimpa Nawie

[B] Akole Manuma Dibi

Condition record: VG+/VG (nice record, shiny surface with clean labels, side A plays VG+ with light surface noise and few light clicks, side B has a few small scratches that cause some light crackling, listen to the sound clips)
Condition cover: new generic sleeve

 

(Mint / EX / VG+ / VG / VG- / G / Fair)

 

Listen >> sound clip 1   Listen >> sound clip 2

 

Sound clips(s) are from the record for sale in this auction. Clips were recorded in mono on a Thorens and a modified Denon DL 103 (with 65 µm stylus) using RIAA equalization (not FFRR as stated on the label, I do not have an multi eq phono pre at the moment, and I also did not want to edit = manipulate soundfiles, finally, the late FFRR curve is not so far away from RIAA). NO sound editing or filters, of course...
