General notes about this release (please note: our version may differ a little. see the comments above):
LP version. Gatefold sleeve. Kalita Records release the first ever compilation focusing on the musical career of Julie Coker, the queen of Nigerian television. Here the label collates seven of Julie's most sought-after Afro disco and hauntingly-beautiful Itsekiri highlife recordings, accompanied by extensive interview-based liner notes and never-before seen photos. After gaining fame as Miss Western Nigeria 1957, Julie began her career in the Nigerian entertainment industry as the country's first ever (and Africa's second) female television presenter, as well as a popular national radio host. In 1976, having been surrounded by close musical friends, including Fela Kuti and Kris Okotie, Julie entered the Nigerian music scene with the now-invisible psychedelic highlife album Ere Yon (Sweet Songs) (1976), followed in 1981 by the highly sought-after disco-centric Tomorrow to great acclaim. Both now fetch eye-watering prices on the rare occasion that they become available for sale. Kalita Records select four recordings from Ere Yon (Sweet Songs) and three from Tomorrow, all as contemporary-sounding today as they were when first released forty years ago. These include Julie's "Ere Yon", which was recently re-interpreted by Anderson .Paak on Oxnard released on Dr. Dre's Aftermath imprint in 2018, and the lost Afro disco classic "Gossiper Scandal Monger". In partnership with Julie, Kalita Records believe the time is right to share Julie's phenomenal story and music with the world once more.

Good value
Size: King (Pack of 2), Style: Soft, Configuration: Pillow
I bought these pillows for my son, and he really likes them. They are soft and comfortable, perfect for sleeping and even hugging to fall asleep. They hold their shape well after washing. Overall, a good value for the price!

You won't regret buying these pillows, they're absolutely perfect.
Size: Standard (2 Pillows + 2 Protectors), Style: Medium, Configuration: Pillows + Protectors
I absolutely love these pillows, I love the fact that they come with a cover to protect them. They're just the right amount of density to them to make them extremely comfortable. They don't flatten down and just stay flat. I've had one set of them for quite a while now and they're still just as good as the brand new ones that I bought. Eventually I will be replacing every pillow in my house with these pillows. They're very well made, The filling is just right, the size is perfect, the quality is absolutely amazing. If you buy these pillows you won't regret it, they're literally the probably the best pillows I've ever bought. And also one of the cheaper ones that I bought in price not quality. And I've never bought any of the store that come with the protective covers with them either. I do highly recommend them.

This pillow is great. It supports my head and is just the right softness. Love the fact that it is machine washable. Would definitely purchase it again.

Would buy again
Size: Standard (2 Pillows + 2 Protectors), Style: Medium, Configuration: Pillows + Protectors
I bought these pillows with the pillow protectors included. After 15 minutes of fluffing the pillows in the dryer they took their shape and were ready to use.
