Description

Oby Onyioha - Break it - in demand afro boogie!
Polygram records / Sunny Alade records (Nigeria) SALPS43

If there was an Oby Onyioha fanclub then this would definitely be their holy grail - and to other fans of 1980's afro boogie / disco / electro soul, this is also an item that is definitely worth checking out. Oby's other lp 'I want to feel your love' shows up on ebay every now and then, fetching 300 U$ and up. But this is her other lp, released on another label, with a slightly different feel and also most in demand - previously went for 700 U$.

I once bought this because it is the only African album I know of that was influenced by the 80's electro/breakdance rage. But the album is much more eclectic with some boogie and even a track that carries some reggae in it. Two amazing dancefloor tracks: 'Nigeria's gonna make it' and 'Party party', while she goes all-out electro on 'Break it'.

Listen to two snippets recorded from the actual vinyl (notice the nice breakdown in Party party):

Party party
and
Nigeria will make it

Executive producer is King Sunny Ade! For additional fun, the sleeve has the lyrics written out and mrs Onyioha posing Jane Fonda style...

Unlike the other Oby lp I sold, this copy spent most of its life in Holland in a dry basement and therefore the condition of both vinyl and sleeve is much better.

Vinyl is graded EX, sleeve is VG+ as the top shows slight bend marks.

Tracklist:
A:
Break it
Nigeria's gonna make it
Break it (instrumental)

B:
Slow down
Nwaezelagbo
Raid dem jah
Party party

Priority Shipping: Europe 9 U$, international 13 U$, Netherlands 6.50 Euro

You may have seen this copy on Ebay before, as I was selling it a few months ago - it was sold, I shipped it but it was returned to me after some time as TNT had a problem with the delivery address, buyer asked for and got a refund and the sale was cancelled. To be sure: I will only ship this item (and any records of this value) through priority insured mail with confirmation of receipt and an online tracking number. You will pay the shipping fee mentioned above, and the extra cost of insurance is on me.
