The cover is in great condition with very minor creases at two corners. The laminate is in great condition both front and back, with a fully legible spine. The vinyl has some shadow discolouration to Track 1 on both sides, but this in no way affects to sound, as the vinyl plays beautifully with no clicks skips or jumps, just a bit of background crackle in parts. Great album

Sooliman Ernest Rogers, whose nickname was Rogie, used the stage name S.E. Rogie. Born in Sierra Leone and formed a band there called the Morningstars and played the traditional Leonean palm wine music, which was traditional acoustic folk music, with the addition of some calypso rhythms that came back to West Africa from the Caribbean.  There is an innocence to his lyrics and a beautiful simplicity to the music that supports his rich lilting African baritone vocals. Great album from an expert of his genre – real feel good sound. Despite this album being released in 1988, it includes recordings almost exclusively from the 60’s, many with the Morningstars, recorded in Sierra leone and Liberia.
