Great Guitar Band highlife!

The story of “Wiase Nniama Apim” is that there are thousands of situations in life where you can get away with a bribe, but with death the matter is different. You won’t get away wit a bribe, death will not change the appointment...

“Black Bra” is a song where a woman calls her lover to come, referring to him as “Krakye” (gentleman), so he is probably a man of a little higher social status; she struggles to cope with his lack of the attention, and begs him to come before she might be tempted to go with someone else...

Listen >> sound clip 1   Listen >> sound clip 2

Sound clips(s) are from the record for sale in this auction. Clips were recorded in mono on a Thorens and a modified Denon DL 103 (with 65 µm stylus) using RIAA equalization (not FFRR as stated on the label, I do not have an multi eq phono pre at the moment, and I also did not want to edit = manipulate soundfiles, finally, the late FFRR curve is not so far away from RIAA). NO sound editing or filters, of course...
