Smahila & the S.B.'s Nigeria super rare Afrobeat LP

Smahila & the S.B.'s - same RAS (Rogers All Stars Ltd.)  ASALPS 13 Nigeria 1977
One of the pilars of afrobeat - this one is forever sought after because it's nothing but the best!  Afrobeat in the vein of Fela Kuti but not a rip-off, Smahila and friends managed to come with their own sound. This album is very well produced and the sound is among the better recordings of the era.
This copy was exported from Nigeria to USA and resided on someone's shelves for ages, hardly played! A very clean copy.
A side 1 African movement
B side 1 Natural points
