I am always thrilled to find any project on which the great ‘Eric Agyemang’
performs, I am a big fan of his guitarwork. If vocals are taken care of by
‘Thomas Frimpong’ and it concerns an LP of Dr. K. Gyasi’s Noble Kings,
my day is made completely. This is to my humble opinion the finest highlife
you can find. From Ghana’s 1975, sweet stuff.

Popular 70’s Highlife band from Ghana. Vis-a-Vis is their name
and this album is one very much sought after
by Highlife collectors, take your chance.

Although this cover looks very vague and worn out, we got us a real
nice gem here. The more I regret to tell you, track number 2 opens with
a disturbing hiss. I washed it several times and it looks clean but still.
Class A Highlife nevertheless, you wouldn’t want to miss.

Over one year ago, in july 2008, I already posted ‘Me_Poma’. It was the
Stern’s European release of this album. I bought it back in 1984 and played
it eversince. About 6 months ago I found this original. It sounds a bit
rougher then the one I knew and it contains one track less. From this copy we
learn it was written and arranged by ‘Nana Kwame Ampadu I’. I always loved
Me Poma so another posting seems absolutely justified, enjoy.

Highlife music was originated in Ghana and to me, Ghana Highlife
like this is still one of the best. We’ve seen one of their albums before
at the GG. This one has a cover almost completely worn out but
the music still sounds great. it’s perfect for a mellow sunday afternoon.

tracks;

1 Ampadu Boateng
2 Hwehwe ahoto

4 Adwoa kwakyewa

I recorded this LP from a friend’s copy quite some time ago.
Today I recovered the file, unfortunately I was not very sharp those
days and never photographed the backside of the cover. Now I don’t know
anything about it except the fact that it’s a fine album. Whenever I see
Eric Agyeman’s name pass by, all alarms go off. You can’t afford to let
any of his work go by unnoticed. So check this and tell us the year,
the publisher and whatever you can tell more, cheers.

1 Wonko Menko ?

Ghana highlife at it’s best, Kyeremateng Atwede is here with
his Stars. The cover unfortunately has some dammage, the music
however sounds just fine. Give it a go.

tracks;

1 Su su ka
2 Omama ho ye ahi
3 I go die for you
4 Never follow woman

This LP contains the sweetest highlife from Ghana. Eric Agyeman
is here and I think it’s a late 70’s album, if anyone knows..
The musicians he brought along are not the least, names like
Frimpong and Crentsil are the ones we want to see, great stuff.

E.T. Mensah was born in 1919 in Accra, Ghana as Emmanuel
Tettey Mensah. He was the main performer of early Ghana
highlife and took over leadership of the already famous
‘Tempos’ after the war. He semi retired through the 60’s
but had a kind of come back in the 70’s. He recorded several
albums for Afrodisia producer Faisal Helwani and this is one
of them. Although recorded in his late days, a sweet album.
Many of us know the two CD’s that appeared, ‘All for
You’ and ‘Day by Day’. Absolute recommendable, both of them.
Originated in Ghana, highlife was taken over by Nigerians
after seeing E.T. Mensah perform on one of his many tours.
