Doing It In Lagos – Boogie, Pop, & Disco In 80s Nigeria ... LP 
Soundway (UK), Early 80s. Near Mint- 3LP Gatefold ... $29.99
Damn great work from the early 80s Nigerian scene – music that's evolved strongly past the Afro Funk of the 70s, and often has the same electro soul sound as work from the US at the time!
