A landmark recording from one of Ghana's great musical architects, Ebo Taylor's 1977 self-title release marked the first solo LP by the legendary guitarist, arranger, and composer after years behind the scenes shaping the sound of modern highlife. Emerging during a pivotal era in Ghana's cultural and political life, the album finds Taylor fusing his roots in Fante traditional rhythms with the electric groove of American funk, soul, and jazz - a sound honed during his time studying in London and comparing notes with the likes of Fela Kuti and members of Osibisa.
Now reissued by Strut Records, this release includes newly restored and remastered audio by The Carvery and See Why Audio, as well as new liner notes containing an interview with Taylor's son, Henry Taylor.
NB : comes unsealed in open plastic sleeve
