LOVERS SONG by THE STORMMERS

Another great reissue of a rare record.. Holds the funky bangers Love Or Money & Super DJ.The Stormmers were led by Renny Pearl, former bandleader and bass player with AKTION (The Aktions/Aktion 13), an Afro Funk band from Warri that burned brightly and briefly in the mid 70s. With the help of Jake Sollo, an ex-Funkee and recently reconstituted disco dandy, they created Lovers Song, an album of frantically musical bass lines, skittery high hats and an irresistible urge to get onto the dancefloor. �Love and Money� has the swagger of John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever. �Super DJ� has the sure-footedness of a well-selected playlist. �Sexy Woman�, with its refrain of �I need you, I want you, you turn me on, you�re beautiful� is sound of a clubber desperately trying to find someone, anyone, so they don�t have to go home alone. The album was recorded in Nigeria and the UK and released in 1981, a time in Nigeria when oil prices were falling, beats-per-minute were rising and clubbers wanted to party like there was no tomorrow. The urgent, salacious sounds of The Stormmers suited the mood perfectly. - Peter Moore,
