The first record Pax Nicholas appeared on was "Lady Shakara" - an international smash hit and one of Fela's greatest. Nicholas was at the right place at the right time. In the 70s, stars like James Brown, B.B. King, Ginger Baker, Stevie Wonder and Manu Dibango came to Lagos to visit Fela's Shrine club to hear this new and incredibly heavy thing called Afrobeat. While playing and recording for Felas's AFRICA 70 (Nicholas appeared on all Fela's releases between 1971 and 1978), Mr. Addo-Nettey always had his own thing going on the side. He released NA TEEF KNOW THE ROAD OF TEEF in 1973 and is a heavy afro-funk. Fela reportedly said: "Don't you ever, EVER play it again!" And so it was. Despite being a killer record, NA TEEF KNOW THE ROAD OF TEEF remained undercover for more than 30 years.
