Soon to be released on Voodoo Funk Records
The Martin Brothers are pioneers of the Nigerian Funk and Afrobeat
scene. Besides many releases under their own name, as the Tabansi Studio
Band they lit up innumerable recoding sessions — it's them on Pax
Nicholas' Na Teef album, for example; and the same team is behind the
legendary Saxon Lee & The Shadows International LP.
Money is the Martins at their deepest and heaviest — tearing, wailing, mid-seventies funk, heady with spirituality. Superbad from start to finish with no let-up.

Original copies are amongst the most sought-after of all African and
funk records on the international collectors' scene. It seems there is
just a tiny handful of copies at large.
The tracks were originally laid down at Ginger Baker's ARC recording studio in Lagos and later mixed down at London's Tin Pan Alley Studios. The audio restoration and remastering for this re-issue was done at Abbey Road.
