Limited LP : Orange vinyl, silk screened cover.

Following the planetary success of our "Edo Funk Explosion Vol.1" project we
have now unearthed "No Food Without Taste If By Hunger" by "The Good
Samaritans", one of the most obscure Nigerian album ever recorded. Originally
released in 1982, the bands frst album is full of bouncy basslines, raw trance-like
grooves and tripped-out psychedelic guitars, a funk experience unlike any other.
"The Good Samaritans" is Philosopher Okundaye's own Edo-Funk project, under
which name he produced four albums, all recorded at Phonodisk Studio in IjebuIgbo east of Lagos with a 24 track. Okundaye who played many instruments,
engaged the right musicians for each project and mixed the whole thing himself,
is known as the composer of a large part of Benin City's celebrated hits in the
80s. His name keeps popping up but somehow his role in the scene remains a bit
hazy, giving the character an image of something like the gray eminence of Edo
funk.
