Discography of King Sunny Ade









1966
Sunny Ade
Eda Ko Laropin (7" single; ?)
Eda Ko Laropin
-- This could be the Sunny Ade's first hit/disc in Nigeria. The chronological order of this one and the next one is not clear.

1967
Sunny Ade and His Green Sport Band
Bolarinwa Abioro (7" single; African Songs AS 21; matrix number 7XAS 21A and 21B)
Bolarinwa Abioro b/w Alanu L'Oluwa
-- This is most likely KSA's first record. The band name is credited as Green Sport Band (Thanks to Y. Fukazawa for the label images). According to KSA himself (via A. Kolawole), it was recorded at NBC Studio, now Radio Nigeria, at Obalende in Nov/Dec 69 and released in Jan 70, but most likely he just forgot the precise year of the release because he released a single 'Challenge Cup '67' later.
