An aura of mystery is hidden around this magnificent album released on EMI Nigeria in 1974, which today is a collector's cult object. It was the only album by Moonrakers Band. Steve Black tells: "We were the original members of The Moonrakers and were based in Zaria, then in 1972 we left band management and started The Elcados. The original management of The Moonrakers sold the name to his elder brother who had a club in Kano and they brought Prince Bola Agbana to get other musicians to continue The Moonrakers while we moved in as The Elcados." Moonrakers Band and Elcados were the two bands that inflamed northern Nigeria in the early '70s with a more rocking and virtuoso sound, and especially with tons of rare grooves, than everything else around it. Tracks like 'Wait For Me,' 'Cut Your Coat According To Your Size,' 'Yara Manyan Gobe,' but also 'Enia Sa Pele' and 'Move On,' will make floating camels appear on the dancefloor, or in your house!
