'The RetroAfric label was set up as a vehicle for launching ET Mensah's 'All For You'. The successful response encouraged the label to pursue a program of reissuing recordings by various African artists from the '50s to the '70'. Billboard

E.T. Mensah, the multi-instrumentalist, band- leader and undisputed King of Highlife, who sadly died in 1996 was the artist who inspired RetroAfric's mission to re-present classic tracks by Africa's masters of popular music.

The first collection, All For You, was released as a vinyl LP in 1986. Since then technology has moved on apace and the label has re-mastered the original material which is now cleaner and more splendid than ever. The album has been brought up to CD length with the addition of three previously unavailable tracks. A new catalogue number for All For You [RETRO1XCD] denotes the added value version:
