RELEASE DATE

PMG present a reissue of
Elcados
's last record,
What Ever You Need
, originally released in 1979. "By the 1979 release of
What Ever You Need
, the Elcados were ready to party. 'We got rhythm, we got sound,' they declare on 'Funky Music'. Starting out as
The Moonrakers
in Kanu in 1968,
Steve Black
,
Rocky Mustapha
,
Tony Nosika
and
Frank Martins
spent the next decade gigging their way out of the north, including a surreal set with
Khalifa Baba-Ahmed
at the Miss New Nigeria contest. They released two rock-oriented albums in the mid '70s before hitting a disco/reggae groove on
What Ever You Need
. The album starts with the title track, a bouncy reggae number guaranteed to fill the dance floor. 'Cross Over Reggae' keeps the mood light before 'The World Is Full Of Injustice' delivers a bit of Rasta indignation. Funk monsters 'Marry The Poor' and 'Funky Music' bring it all home, reminding listeners that the guys didn't drag out their best shiny suits just to smoke spliffs. Sadly,
What Ever You Need
, was the last record the Elcados released. But they went out with the glitter ball burning brightly, dimmed but a little by the fug of the righteous herb." --
