This album came up in Brendan Canning’s guest list over at Pitchfork.  It would seem that any record that influences the sound of a band like Broken Social Scene or the great new record from Canning would be worth a listen or two.  After giving it the once over, Nigeria Special: Modern Highlife, Afro-sounds & Nigerian Blues 1970-6 is a great supplement to any summer playlist and would fit in nicely with anything that induces cloudy visions of setting, shining suns.  Personally, it sounds like a late summer record ready to use during those burnt out, late August afternoons when one has lost the energy to actually make it out to the beach but still wants the transportational effect of getting out of the apartment.  Listen to some samples below.
