| The re-release of IPA-Boogie's sought-after 1978 debut album is part of the Acid Jazz's roll out of the Albarika Store treasures. |
Here's the scoop...
The Acid Jazz label's exclusive licensing agreement with Albarika Store – the legendary record label that defined the sound of Benin and influenced the entire region of West Africa and beyond – begins an exhaustive look at the archive which will present the label in a way that ensures its historical importance is recognized.
The first releases will be a series of super-rare and in-demand original albums to be reissued on vinyl. Transferred from the original tapes and mastered by Frank Merritt at The Carvery, they are presented with beautiful artwork and packaging to match the sonics. This is the music as it should be heard.
IPA-Boogie – is a super rare LP from 1978 that almost never surfaces in good shape. Today even average condition copies can command £500 to £1,000 on the collector's market and for good reason. These are the only known recordings by this obscure band and present the listener with some of the finest Afro-boogie, Afro funk the extensive catalogue has on offer.
