PMG present a reissue of
Felix Lebarty
's
Girls For Sale
, originally released in 1979. "Before he was Nigeria's self-proclaimed Mr Lover Boy, Felix Lebarty was an upcoming musician in the country's Edo-Delta region. His big brother,
Aigbe
, was a legendary highlife bandleader, but Felix paid his dues playing guitar with
Thony Shorby Nwenyi and the Collection of Stars
, along with fellow 'star'
Mighty Flames
bassist,
Willy Nfor
. Perversely,
Girls For Sale
was released after
Lover Boy
, the slick disco album that cemented his place in Nigerian music history. It is a collection of tracks Lebarty made early in his career, when his music was rawer and his pickup lines less sophisticated and less practiced. In 'Come True', Lebarty actually admits to a girl that he hasn't got any money. He begs a girl to love him in 'Love Me Kiss Me' and pleads with a rival to give him a break in 'Don't Take My Girl'. He even takes a dig at Aigbe, his more successful sibling, in 'Mr Big Brother'. It's hardly what you'd expect from the disco god behind
Lover Boy
, who went on to have 19 children with seven different women. To me, that's what makes
Girls For Sale
worth checking out. It's gritty, lo-fi, and melodic, like
The Apostles
with a subtle a nod towards the
Jackson Five
, sung with endearing insecurity. What's not to like about that?" --
Peter Moore
