Repress from their 1979 album !

Starting out as the Moonrakers in Kanu in 1968, Steve Black, Rocky Mustapha, Tony Nosika and Frank Martins, spent the next decade gigging their way out of the north, including a surreal set with Khalifa Baba-Ahmed at the Miss New Nigeria contest. They released two rock-oriented albums in the mid �70s before hitting a disco/reggae groove on Whatever You Need. The album starts with the title track, a bouncy reggae number guaranteed to fill the dance floor. �Cross Over Reggae� keeps the mood light before �The World Is Full Of Injustice� delivers a bit of Rasta indignation. Funk monsters �Marry The Poor� and �Funky Music� bring it all home, reminding listeners that the guys didn�t drag out their best shiny suits just to smoke spliffs.
