Pat Thomas - Coming Home: Original Ghanaian Highlife & Afrobeat Classics 1967-1981 (2016)

"Ghanaian highlife master and “The Golden Voice Of Africa”, Pat Thomas, with his first full career retrospective covering his late ‘60s big band highlife recordings through to the “burger highlife” movement of the early ‘80s." (From Strut press release) The spine and disks state 1967-1981 while the front cover states 1964-1981. The Strut implies that 1967 would be correct "When a new incarnation of Broadway Dance Band was created in ‘67, led by Ebo Taylor, Thomas received his first big break."
