Rogers All Stars (Nigeria) Ltd.

Rogers All Stars was founded by Chief [a1586805] in the early 1970s. It has been characterized as one of the earliest and most successful record companies to emerge after the Nigerian civil war over the secessionist state of Biafra (1967-1970). It became very successful in marketing the new up-tempo guitar highlife with artists from the south-eastern provinces of Nigeria. Initially recordings were made at the Decca studio in Lagos. But from 1979, with a new 24-track studio in Awka, recordings moved east. With branch offices in Onitsha and Lagos the discs were distributed widely in Nigeria and could be found as imports across West Africa. Also credited as Rogers All Stars Nig. Ltd.
