		A tantalizingly brief note of 1931 in the Gold Coast Review describes an ethnic group called the Mpre, found only in the village of Butie in central Ghana (8° 52' N, 1° 15' W) near the confluence of the White and Black Voltas, apart from a few emigrants in Debre.
		Noting that their language was “different to that of the surrounding tribes”, he lists 106 words of Mpre.
		Fellow language geeks may find it an interesting exercise to try their hand at extracting grammar information from the wordlist, which Blench gives a copy of [actually he says they're "available from the author at r.blench@odi.org.uk"], before reading on...

	Slave Castles
		Hence the Portuguese who started the slave trade were followed in quick succession by the Dutch, English, French, Swedish, Danish and the Brandenburgers, who came to the Gold Coast and built castles and forts and competed seriously in the trade.
		Thus, it is clear that the Gold Coast then appeared to all the European powers as the most favorable country from which they could carry out their trade more profitably than in any other African territory.
		The slave trade was a later addition to the commercial trade in gold, ivory and other local commodities in exchange for European merchandise.

	Heimskringla: Magnus Barefoot's Saga
		King Magnus had a helmet on his head; a red shield, in which was inlaid a gilded lion; and was girt with the sword of Legbit, of which the hilt was of tooth (ivory), and handgrip wound about with gold thread; and the sword was extremely sharp.
		But these had for a long time been under the Swedish dominion, and with respect to scat were joined to West Gautland; and, besides, the forest- settlers preferred being under the Swedish king.
		On the mass-day itself, when the sun rose in the sky, King Magnus went on shore himself with the greater part of his men, to look after his people, and to carry off cattle from the coast.

	Finns in the New Sweden Colony
		In 1649 the Swedes established their African Company, whose base of operations was located on the Gold Coast in West Africa, and which sought to export slaves, gold, and ivory from the African continent.
		Throughout the history of the Swedish colony, it is surprising how easily the Swedes were able to get property rights to certain land from the Indians.
		Although relations with the Indians were trouble-free, the Swedes were nevertheless disappointed in the results of their trade objectives, since it appears in the final analysis that they were not able to buy very many furs.

		Staying with that west coast vibe, the boys dare to use the same piano sample from hip-hop classic "Still D.R.E." on the brooding "Supersexual" where they could easily be mistaken for Blackstreet, sounding more American R&B and less British pop.
		Gold establishes that the band, while appreciated as campy, were actually multifaceted in their execution.
		There was an innocence to the Swedish quartet, even when they were singing about one-night stands and the invitations to them.
