  2. This is fast becoming my favourite music blog. Great eclectic taste, always something that I haven't heard of, and if the man comes after you, it has encouraged me to buy some of the stuff.

  8. No, I don't know of the third volume. I doubt there is one.
    But check out compilations "Lagos All Routes" and "Lagos Chop Up", if you are into stuff like this.

  10. There is indeed a third disc to this set, but it is a 5-part audio documentary that tells the history of this music rather than another disc full of tunes. Also worth checking out is a 'sequel' of sorts put out by this same label (Strut) in 2007 called 'Nigeria 70 - Lagos Jump'. It is downright criminal that this excellent set is now out of print (Nigeria 70 - Lagos Jump is still available, though).
