"Nytro" (1977) / "Return to Nytropolis" (1979)

I originally had this post as a re-direct to Baby Grandpa's blog - he did some great new rips of the two funky albums by Nytro, produced by Norman Whitfield in 1977 and 1979, and asked me to write a post for it.

Well that post is gone now,  and I have no idea what I wrote, but here are the rips  :

Nytro - 'Nytro' (1977)

and

Nytro - 'Return to Nytropolis' (1979)
