Description
VERY RARE NIGERIAN LP BY THE GHANA BAND EDZAYAWA, ENTITLED "PROJECTION 1" ON EMI NIGERIA (EMI(N)005). AROUND THE SAME TIME AS THE LEGENDARY BLO PHASE 1 LP. RECORDED MAY 1973 IN LAGOS NIGERIA. NANA DANSO IS STILLTODAY ONE OF THE MOST PROGRESSIVE AND INTERESTING CHARACTERS IN GHANAIAN MUSIC NOW FRONTING THE PAN-AFRICAN ORCHESTRA, THIS WAS HIS EARLIEST BAND AND RECORDING PROJECT AND TAKES IN A WHOLE BUNCH OF INFLUENCES FROM HEAVY AFRO-BEAT TO FUNK, ROCK AND AFRICAN MUSIC FORMS. IT'S ONE OF THE RAREST NIGERIAN LP'S. IF YOU LIKE THE EARLY BLO SOUND, FELA KUTI, BUNZU SOUNDZ, HEDZOLLEH SOUNDZ BUT NOT THE LATER MORE GENERIC NIGERIAN POP THAT OFTEN IS DESCRIBED AS AFRO MUSIC ON THESE PAGES THEN THIS ONE'S FOR YOU. IT'S HEAVY AND ORIGINAL. AS THE SLEEVE NOTES SAY "PROJECTION ONE WILL BE LOVED AND HATED FOR IT'S INCOMPARABLE PRECEDENCE". THE VINYL WAS UNPLAYED UNTIL I CHECKED IT COMING FROM STORE STOCK. HOWEVER IT DID HAVE SOME MINOR HUMIDITY FROM THE INNER SLEEVE THAT I HAVE CLEANED OFF ON A VPI RECORD CLEANER. THE VINYL IS STILL A STRONG EX/VG++. THE SLEEV HAS SOME HEAVY RINGWEAR ON THE BACK BUT THE SLEEVE NOTES ARE STILL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE - THERE IS SOME SIMILAR RINGWEAR AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FRONT COVER. INSIDE GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS PERFECT. LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE WANTS OR TRADES OF AFRO/LATIN/FUNK/BRAZILIAN/CARIBBEAN/ISLAND STUFF. PAYEMNT MUST BE RECEIVED NO LATER THAN 10 DAYS AFTER THE CLOSE OF THE AUCTION BY PAYPAL / BIDPAY / CHEQUE IN UK POUNDS CALCLATED BY EXCHANGE RATE ON END DAY OF AUCTION / CASH IN REGISTERED ENVELOPE (AT SENDERS RISK) afro afrobeat fela blo nigeria funk rock psyche nigerian ghana soundz highlife bunzu hedzolleh afrofunk ofege apostles
