The Lijadu Sisters were the most successful female group in Nigeria in the 1970s and managed to overturn many stereotypes and attitudes as they carved out a unique space for themselves in a predominantly male arena. Their influences ranged from female soul singers such as Aretha Franklin, The Pointer Sisters and Miriam Makeba to the afro-beat of Fela Anikulapo-Kuti as well as the juju music of I.K. Dairo and the highlife of Victor Olaiya. The Lijadu Sisters, identical twins Taiwo and Kehinde Lijadu, grew up in Ibadan, Nigeria. They recorded their debut album for Decca Records in 1969. At the start of the 1970s the two singers joined ex-Cream drummer Ginger Bakers short-lived all-African group Salt (which also included future members of the Afro-Rock/psych-funk group B.L.O.). This album brings together the best of their tracks from the four albums recorded for the Afrodisia label in Nigeria - 'Danger' (1976), 'Mother Africa' (1977), 'Sunshine' (1978) and 'Horizon Unlimited' (1979). The album comes as a very limited deluxe super-loud gatefold sleeve heavyweight double vinyl pressing.
