Notes:
On front sticker : "A collection of 18 Burger Highlife, Electronic Afrobeat And Reggae tracks highlighting a time when the burgeoning Ghanaian diaspora across Europe and North America was utilising new music technology and recording techniques. A period of movement, emigration and innovation. Triple Vinyl LP Includes a large 8 page booklet with detailed liner notes, record scans and photos."
On back cover : "Eighteen Burger Highlife, Electronic Afrobeat And Reggae tracks highlighting a time when many Ghanaian musicians either recorded or released albums overseas. A period of movement, emigration and innovation. From Canada and the USA to Germany and the UK, Ghanaian music in the 1980s and early 90s was on the move. Drum machines, synthesizers and affordable recording techniques made autonomy from established record labels back home a reality."
