Smart Nkansah and his Sweet Talks - Adam and Eve,
Philips 1975




















One of the originators of the non-stop style highlife from
Ghana. Around 1975 it was the 'in thing'. Three tracks
in which 5 numbers. Smart Nkansah did a fine job, here
aswell as with the Sweet Talks as resident band of the
talk of the town hotel 'Tema'. Love it or leave it..

tracks;

1 Adam and Eve
- Fakye me
2 Womma yenyi ewuradze aye
3 Onyame aye ewie
- Adam nana

I'm a bit confused, does this recording have all five tracks in three tracks or is it missing two tracks?

Thank you for the upload, my highlife collection is happily growing!

yes, this record has all five in three tracks. I have the cd-version, where they have cutted in 5 tracks, but the lp-version sounds better.

Are you really sure its Smart Nkansah? I thought its A.B. Crentsil and his Sweet Talks.

I'm pretty sure this is AB Crentsil too, but looking at this link http://www.allmusic.com/album/adam-eve-r510717 Sweet Talks were led by Smart Nkansah. AB Crentsil is the vocalist, and hence the confusion I reckon :-)
