Osode Akosua LP

(Ode Ne Ho) Atta Frimpong

Not On Label, Netherlands ???

I think the Osode Akosua lp is one of the best euro highlife records, and actually all highlife records. I don't think this counts as burger-highlife because it was pressed in the Netherlands and not Germany, but stylistically it fits the bill.

If you search Discogs for "Frimpong" there are 33 different musicians with this name, all active in either Ghana, Nigeria, the US, or western Europe. But of all the Frimpongs this has to be the high water mark. This album is a emotional and funky in a way that really doesn't sound like anything else.

Two of these tracks were recently comped by Kalita, but I think we can all agree that nothing beats the real thing. And this specific copy is both 1) in great shape, and 2) reasonably priced compared to sales history and current listings. Well, have a listen for yourself.


The vinyl is graded as a solid Very Good Plus and the sleeve I would set at Very Good due to minor ringwear and general wear on corners. Images and audio clips are from the copy for sale.
