Track A2, "Better Change Your Mind" is one of the all-time afro-funk/afrobeat anthems ever recorded and worth the price of ission on this one all by itself. The whole album is a great listen. Nice grooves with the groovy organ sound that defines some of the classic Nigerian music of the era. Killer vocals and rhythm section across the board!
