Thanks for posting more song…

I just can’t understand why you choose to upload poor quality mp3s only this time ?!!?

The tracks you posted earlier of Ata Kak & taken from the same tape (already on the blog) were much much better quality sound compare to those here !!

Any chance at all of posting the tape in a higher bit-rate? The Ata Kak material you presented to the world has started to infect all manner of blogs (especially as a result of the glorious video on You Tube of Daa Nyinaa) and it would be so cool to hear a high quality rip of the album…the Ata Kak songs are just so so good and apart from the ‘Obaa Sima’ track on the Afrique K7 compilation, all the other tracks I have heard have been such low quality which is a real shame as this music still sounds as though it was made today and not twenty odd years ago!

If anyone can help with a good quality rip can they let me know by posting a message here, many thanks.

Just heard the Radio 4 documentary in the states on BBC Radio World Service. Very interesting story and some very intriguing music. I can’t wait to hear the remake of this album!

Heard about Ata Kak and the journey to find him on the BBC!

I’d really love a good release of this. CD, vinyl… doesn’t matter :)

Hi Brian, this is Lisa J Whelan from the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC). I am looking to report on crate diggers who come to the region in search of new sounds for western audiences. Would you be willing to answer a few of my questions? You can email me at lisajunewhelan@gmail.com. Thank you for your time.

I’ve fallen in love with Ata Kak’s music. So sad this great tunes didn’t make him money then but nice you guys are helping him out. Great work.

Just listened to the BBC program about your quest to find Ata Kak. It’s great music! I really hope that this will bring global recognition to him.

This is absolutely great! I’ll buy a copy on tape or vinyl or mp3 anytime. As long as Ata Kak gets his percentage!
