More nightclubs, bars, spots and dance-floors than any place along the coast from Dakar all the way to Kinshasa. The only 24 track recording studio in the same stretch with more DJs & imported American LPs and 45s than any of it’s neighbours

Nigeria Disco Funk Special: The Sound Of The Underground Lagos Dancefloor 1974-79 ‎(CD, Comp). Can anyone tell me if the inner sleeves were just generic plastic sleeves or particular to this release? I ask because my copy was advertised as opened/played once yet I find it odd it mine came with generic plastic inner sleeves. Thanks all & happy boxing day!

More nightclubs, bars, spots and dancefloors than any place along the coast from Dakar all the way to Kinshasa. Nigeria Disco Funk Special is an amazing collection of heavy dancefloor grooves from urban Lagos in the '70s - hot and driving slices of funk, disco and boogie that show just how vibrant the music scene was in one of West Africa's most populous and culturally diverse cities. This album may be titled "Nigeria Disco Funk Special" but this is definitely NOT your uncle's brand of Studio 54 disco. Nothing sleek and shiny about these songs; this is gritty, funky stuff, spiced by those addictive Nigerian rhythms .

Will Of The People - T-Fire. 3. Lagos City - Asiko Rock Group.

Nigeria Disco Funk Special: The Sound of the Underground Lagos Dancefloor 1974-1979 offers nine tracks of deep, quite well-produced groove- by the late 70s, Nigeria was home to plenty of high-tech studios to give the country's musicians the sheen they required as they kicked their funk into a new disco gear. Cleret makes the unusual (for him) move of repeating someone else with his inclusion of Joni Haastrup's "Greetings", which previously appeared on Strut's now out of print Nigeria 70 compilation, but if you'd heard the song you probably would've repeated. Otherwise, Cleret goes way off the beaten path. I'm a huge fan of the SJOB Movement's first album (1970's A Move in the Right Direction), but I didn't even know they had a second one. Nevertheless, Cleret sources a slamming disco-funk jam with an avalanche of a synth hook called "Love Affair" from it.

2. Will of the People.

More nightclubs, bars, spots and dance-floors than any place along the coast from Dakar all the way to Kinshasa. This album is the sound of Cuban-heeled and Micro-minied Lagos youth soaking up the sound of the American discotheque and putting their own inimitable twist on the proceedings.
