1982 RELEASE KING SUNNY ADE AND HIS AFRICAN BEATS-JUJU MUSIC VINYL RECORD MLPS 9712 MANGO RECORDS

Juju Music is the 1982 major label debut of Nigerian jùjú band King Sunny Adé and His African Beats. It represented the first worldwide release for Adé, who was already established in his native Nigeria as its "biggest musical draw and juju music's reigning monarch". The album was a critical and commercial success, peaking at #111 on Billboard's "Pop Albums" chart. The New York Times, which described the album in 1982 as "the year's freshest dance-music album", credited it in 1990 with having launched the "World Beat movement in the United States".
Inner sleeve. Upon inspection, the jacket has shelf wear. The record is in ALMOST NEAR MINT condition.

Nigerian band (before Green Spot) led by King Sunny Ade renamed African Beats in 1972 after splitting with Bolarinwa Abioro (African Songs Limited) and partly to avoid legal problems with a company that sold cigarettes under the Green Spot brand.
