Cardinal Rex Lawson
& his Majors Band of Nigeria
Greatest Hits
Polygram / Polydor

Rex Lawson, front

First LP by this artist on this page. We had one track on
the collector ‘African Music’ some time ago but that’s it.
About time to give Rex Lawson some deserved attention.
12 short tracks of which 7 to 12 can be a bit false. B-side
wasn’t centered right unfortunately. Still, I think it’s worth
a couple of spins, I enjoyed it a lot again while recording.
Mellow kind of Nigerian highlife, listen.

tracks;

1 Oko
2 Serra nene
3 Ene bate
4 So ala te mem
5 Love mu adure
6 Mekine wa bo te
7 Jolly papa
8 Tamuno bo ibro ma
9 Oweibo nua
10 Ibi na bo
11 Fi gboru ene
12 Ibari ikoru wa

    It’s time to say thank you for this year (if you want to with my blog and a few more records there)!
    Sad news from Nigeria these days. Let’s hope for a better 2011.

    Good job Moos. Cardinal Rex Lawson was a gem to Nigeria, who died at a young age. On Dec. 16, 2010 we lost another gem. Dr. Sikiru Ayinde Barrister passed away in a london hospital from illness. Moos, can you post one of his albums in honor of him soon? Thanks

    Moos, I hope my last comment didn’t provoke you to post albums with great horn sections. The sax on Celestine’s album is as smooth as silky velvet. Matches his voice nicely.
    Here the trumpet is wonderful. Big thanks!
