RELEASE DATE

LP version. PMG present a reissue of
Aigbe Lebarty
's
Unity
, originally released in 1979. "In 1979, long-time highlife veteran Aigbe Lebarty decided to try his hand at high-energy disco funk. Checking the
Lebartone Aces
at the door, he borrowed the
Sex Bombers
from
Prince Omo Lawal-Osula
and created
Unity
, a sure-fire dance floor stomper that channels 'Ring My Bell' into a clarion cry for, well, unity ... and a good time. The title track is the undisputed highlight of the album. It rattles along in a wonky, skittish fashion, with the high-pitched toms dueling with the Sex Bombers in a musical game of
Space Invaders
. 'His Highness Erediauwa 1 Oba Of Benin' sees Aigbe slip back into highlife like a comfortable pair of slippers. The tracks were a gift to
Erediauwa
, who had just been crowned the 38th ruler of the Edo people in Benin City. Like eastern Nigeria, Benin City had remained a haven for highlife, so no surprises there. Spookily, the reissue of this album by PMG coincides with the passing of his Highness Erediauwa 1 and the coronation of his successor." --
