Musically the LP is a fairly unique collection of percussive afrobeat funk; the arrangements are brass friendly, slick on the keys and framed with a rich resonant deep soul vocals, the record also feature a finest example of African Reggae Roots cut to vinyl : "Tell Me Why You Cry" . This Lp is unique collection of music which until now has remained out of sight of a wider audience. Check out standout cuts ''Mama Wam'' , ''Hankuri'' & ''You Don't Love Me No More''In addition to the original release the reissue will contain "a bonus seventh track". During the mastering process we found an early test pressing of the LP from 1978 with an extra track on it… we put the project on hold so as we could remake the lacquer for the first side to include the mystery track..
