William Onyeabor: Crashes In Love Version 2 Vinyl LP

1979 album from the elusive Nigerian synth-funk pioneer. This is the “remixed” version of Crashes In Love which saw Onyeabor adding electronic beats and additional vocals to his debut. These joints are literally impossible to find in original form as they were self-released between 1977 and 1983 in Africa. Thankfully Luaka Bop has pulled out all the stops, giving these gems a fresh remaster and an official repress. Four tracks in all.
