In 1973, EMI Records Nigeria released the 45 rpm disc Fuel for Love b/w Soundway, credited to a mysterious band called Wrinkar Experience. The record was a finely-crafted gem of pop-rock and funky soul as had never before been heard coming out of the countrys nascent rock scene, and it ended up being the biggest selling Nigerian single up until that point. The success of Wrinkar Experience effectively demonstrated that was a market for homegrown pop and rock, and sent record labels scrambling to sign similar bands, kicking off the Nigerian rock revolution that is still being celebrated and discovered by new generations today.

But while Wrinkar Experience launched the movement, the group itself would be short-lived: after another hit single in 1973, the bands frontman Danie Ian split for a solo career. The remaining principal players in the group-Cameroonian musicians Ginger Forcha and Edjoo Jacques Racine-tried to keep the Wrinkar name going before giving it up and rebranding themselves as Rock Town Express.

Rock Town Expresss debut LP Funky Makossa was recorded in 1974 for ARC Records, the cutting-edge studio and label established in Lagos by English drum legend Ginger Baker. The album showcased in long format the qualities that had only been hinted at on the Wrinkar Experience singles: bright, confident pop melodies, articulate lyrics, and darkly potent funk-rock.

Comb & Razor Sound is proud to present a new, fully-authorized reissue of Funky Makossa, ready to be enjoyed by a new generation of listeners eager to consume the sounds from Nigerias golden age of popular music

Great Sweater
Color: Black, Size: 3X-Large
My son wore this to an event he got so many compliments on it. The quality of the fabric and the design makes it look so much more expensive.

Nice long sleeved polo
It looks great , nice color, warm but not too warm. It fits well, soft, washes well, and so far hasn’t come apart in wash. And it has long sleeves. I liked it so much I bought in more than one color. Nice selection of colors so I can wear one every day of the week.
