    BBE present the two other key records that have Rim Kwaku Obeng a cult figure for lovers of both African music and ‘disco’ in its widest sense. 'Too Tough', a superb three track EP from 1982, originally on Sum-Sum Records, was credited to Rim and Kasa, whilst he issued the cracking 12” I’m Not Going To Let You Go as Rim And The Believers for Harmony Records the following year. Essential!
