K.K.'S NO 2 BAND - VOICES SUPREME:
Ghanaian highlife with A.K. Yeboah & his band - nice listening through both sides with "Womma Menya Me Kyefa" and "Ankoben Nana" standing out for me. LOTS of marks and some scratches on record, still quite enjoyable with fairly mild background crackle and occassional ticks. Writing on both labels. Cover has heavy wear/aging, water damage (staining) on lower part, edge splits and small rips, writing front and back. Ghanaian original.
