The songs on Afrodisiac were tracks that Fela and the Nigeria 70 (Later Africa 70) re-recorded at Abbey Road Studios in 1972 after they had become hits in Nigeria. The best known song on the album is 'Jeun Ko Ku', a satire about gluttony and Fela's first major hit across West Africa.

Fela's London Scene, released in 1972, is a top-notch affair, made with a smaller band but one that punches above it's weight. There is no tenor guitarist and no call-and-response choir, though sing-along vocals are a feature of \"Egbe Mi O\" (\"please carry me\"). Throughout, Fela's electric piano is gym ripped and razor sharp, and Igo Chico turns in three stirring tenor solos. \"Buy Africa,\" written in 1970, was one of Fela's first politically-informed songs. The lyric was written in support of a government campaign to encourage local industry. \"J'Ehin J'Ehin\" (\"eat teeth eat teeth\") is along similar lyric lines as \"Shakara.\" This time Fela is lampooning people who are so greedy that they eat their own teeth. In \"Who're You,\" Fela channels James Brown's vocal style over an angular funk groove. \"Fight To Finish\" draws on Yoruba folklore to offer advice: once you have started something, be prepared to finish it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 720841206415\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Partisan Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.14.16\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. J'Ehin J'Ehin\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. E Gbe Mi O\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Who're You?\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Buy Africa\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Fight To Finish!\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e\n\u003c!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Knitting Factory Records (KFR2004-3); Partisan Records (KFR2004-3)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2021  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Worldwide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA1 J'Ehin J'Ehin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA2 E Gbe Mi O\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB1 Who're You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB2 Buy Africa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB3 Fight To Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCredits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZach Jaeger – Design, Layout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChris May (6) – Liner Notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBernard Matussière – Photography By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFela Kuti – Written-By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"relix.shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54547561414974,"sku":"641653","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4609\/5166\/files\/12633214157118-transparent-v2.png?v=1791436074"},{"product_id":"fela-kuti-music-of-many-colours-lp-vinyl","title":"Fela Kuti – Music Of Many Colours","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoy Ayers was already a pillar of jazz-funk and soul when he touched down in Lagos, but that 1979 Nigerian tour reshaped both artists.

Amazingly energetic, Fela Kuti had a very original concept that was called Afro Beat - a genre with a very unique identity and exceptional music. One of Fela Kuti's most impressive qualities was that he was undeniably a brilliant show man, as a musician and as a huge dancer as well. His African concept was truly original... The tour was about two black men together coming together, one from Africa and other from USA, a very exciting collaboration.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 720841114314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Partisan Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.29.19\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. 2000 Blacks Got To Be Free (18:39)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Africa - Center Of The World (17:32)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e\n\u003c!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Phonodisk (PHD 003)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1980  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nigeria\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Africa- Centre Of The World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB 2,000 Blacks Got To Be Free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCredits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrafikad – Artwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLekan Animashaun – Baritone Saxophone, Leader (Africa 70 Band)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlake Anikulapo Kuti – Chorus (Female)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFehintola Anikulapo Kuti – Chorus (Female)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolake Anikulapo Kuti – Chorus (Female)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIhase Anikulapo Kuti – Chorus (Female)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTokunbo Anikulapo Kuti – Chorus (Female)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChief Udoh Essiet – Congas (1st Rhythm Conga)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOkon Etuk Iyang – Congas (2nd Rhythm Conga)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYomi Osunfisan – Design, Art Direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChas Gerber – Engineer (Mixing), Engineer (Recording)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJames Green – Engineer (Mixing), Engineer (Recording)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKayode Salami – Engineer (Mixing), Engineer (Recording)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverbowale Moses – Flugelhorn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKalenky Clement Djalo – Guitar (Bass)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTunde Brown – Guitar (Rhythm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOkalue Ojeah – Guitar (Tenor)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChas Gerber – Lacquer Cut By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaiye Ojomo – Percussion (Sticks)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFela Kuti – Producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoy Ayers – Producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOlagunju Omojola – Shekere\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOyinade Adeniran – Tenor Saxophone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOtenioro Olu Ifayehun – Trumpet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFesobi Olawaiye – Valve Trombone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoy Ayers – Vibraphone (Solo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"relix.shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54547561513278,"sku":"303968","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4609\/5166\/files\/12633214255422-transparent-v2.png?v=1791436074"},{"product_id":"fela-kuti-shakara-2-lp-vinyl","title":"Fela Kuti – Shakara (2-LP Vinyl)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFela Kuti's 1972 recording \"Shakara\" captures the Nigerian bandleader at a pivotal moment, when his Afrobeat vision was fully formed and his Afrika '70 ensemble was a locked, unstoppable groove machine.

Formed in the youth clubs of London, Mercury Prize and BRIT Award-winners Femi Koleoso, TJ Koleoso, Joe Armon-Jones, James Mollison and Ife Ogunjobi have now spent over a decade making jazz joyful, urgent and undeniable. On Here Because Of Hope, they push that vision further than ever, asking a simple but profound question: why does so much Black music born out of pain sound so joyful? Their answer is hope: the belief, carried across generations and oceans, that something better is possible. Anchored by collaborations with Pa Salieu, Lila Iké, Leona Lewis, and reaching across the full breadth of the global African diaspora (including America, where those same African and Caribbean roots gave birth to jazz itself) Here Because Of Hope is a record of remarkable warmth, ambition and humanity, and the sound of Britain's most vital band at the peak of their powers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Part 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Blow Your Trumpet\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Sweet Echo\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Don't Worry\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Only Love (Feat.

The sprawling, groove-locked title track runs nearly the full side of an LP, a format Fela had mastered for delivering social critique wrapped in irresistible rhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"Fela used the cover of Ikoyi Blindness to announce his change of middle name from Ransome, which he now considered a slave name, to Anikulapo, which means “he who carries death in his pouch.” The front cover shows Ransome crossed out and Anikulapo added above it. Fela also used the album cover to announce the Africanisation of Africa 70’s name, changing it to Afrika 70.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn the title track, Fela draws attention to the economic chasm separating the haves and have-nots of Nigerian society, contrasting the get-rich-at-all-costs mindset of the residents of the prosperous Lagos suburb Ikoyi with the more community-minded attitude of the poor inhabitants of the Mushin, Maroko, Ajegunle and Somolu neighbourhoods. Ikoyi residents are blind to the sufferings of less fortunate people, says Fela.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eFela returns to the topic on the second track, “Gba Mi Leti Ki N’Dolowo (Slap Me Make I Get Money).” In Lagos in 1975 and 1976, there had been an upsurge in police and military personnel assaults on people in the street; motorists were commonly pulled out of their vehicles and given a whipping for minor traffic offences.

In three extraordinarily productive years, Fela released 20 some albums of new material. The purple period continued up to and immediately beyond the Nigerian army attack of February 1977 which destroyed Fela's self-governing commune, Kalakuta Republic. By the time Everything Scatter was recorded, Fela had put all Afrobeat's key elements in place: the signature rhythms he had developed with drummer Tony Allen; edgy, jousting tenor and rhythm guitars; call and response vocals; fat horn arrangements and extended, jazz-based horn and keyboard solos; politically confrontational lyrics; and, crucially, the Broken English Fela adopted to take his message beyond Yoruba speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Everything Scatter (Rere Run) (14:28)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Who No Know Go Know\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 720841207313\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Partisan Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.16.15\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Philips (9286 434)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1976  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Everything Scatter – 14:58\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB Who No Know Go Know – 15:14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCredits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClaude Marra – Artwork (Recto, Illustration)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFela Kuti – Lyrics By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnknown Artist – Photography By (Verso)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFela Kuti – Written-By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"relix.shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54547580748094,"sku":"356210","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4609\/5166\/files\/12633222218046-transparent-v2.png?v=1791321361"},{"product_id":"fela-kuti-alagbon-close-lp-vinyl","title":"Fela Kuti – Alagbon Close","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFela Kuti turned his own imprisonment into a political weapon, and *Alagbon Close* is one of the earliest and sharpest examples of that defiance.

To mark it's 50th anniversary, the album is presented on Jollof orange color vinyl in a single pocket, wide-spine jacket with gold foil OBI strip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Alagbon Close (17:01)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. I No Get Eye For Back (11:24)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 720841207184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Partisan Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.11.24\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Knitting Factory Records (KFR-2011-1); Label Maison (LM044LP)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2015  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e US\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Alagbon Close – 16:58\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB I No Get Eye For Back – 12:35\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCredits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFela Kuti – Arranged By, Composed By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLekan Animashaun – Baritone Saxophone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFranco Aboddy – Bass Guitar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHenry Koffi – Congas (1st)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDaniel Koranteg – Congas (2nd)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNicholas Addo – Congas (3rd)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eS.

Beasts Of No Nation, originally released in 1989, was an indictment of the corruption and repression in post-colonial Africa. The album title cut addressed a variety of targets, each of them, said Fela, guilty of enslaving Africans: the Nigerian regime, the South African apartheid regime of P.W. Botha, Britain's Margaret Thatcher, America's Ronald Reagan, and the ineffectual United Nations. In addition to being vilified in the lyrics, Botha, Thatcher and Reagan are among the political leaders portrayed as beasts and devils on the front sleeve. Almost two decades after his death, vindication has come to Fela Kuti, Africa's musical genius.

While preparing the master disc for the box set, our engineer Jedi, Colin Young, discovered four minutes of “lost” material on the B-side of the original pressing, including a superb keyboard solo by Fela. This had been omitted from subsequent reissues.

By 1972, when Music Of Fela: Roforofo Fight was originally released (on two vinyl albums, Music Of Fela Volume One and Volume Two), Fela was becoming one of the most avidly followed musicians in West Africa. His audience came from among the region's urban poor, the \"sufferheads\" living in the shanty towns around the major cities, along with growing numbers of students and political dissenters. Fela championed, and sang about the problems of, oppressed and exploited people and denounced the ruling elites lording it over them, with their seemingly endemic corruption and their ready use of violence to crush dissent - and because he generally sang in Broken English rather than Yoruba, and adopted an increasingly pan-Africanist outlook, his message resonated throughout Anglophone Africa.

Upside Down and Zombie, both released in 1976, were made at the mid-point of an extraordinary three-year purple period during which Fela recorded 24 albums of new material. Upside Down is unusual in that it includes a second lead vocalist, Fela's American friend Sandra Izsadore, who he'd known since touring the US in 1969. Izsadore, a black rights activist, introduced him to the writings of Malcolm X, Angela Davis, Rap Brown, Stokely Carmichael, Huey Newton and other revolutionary thinkers. Fela later credited Izsadore with helping inspire his philosophy of Blackism. Izsadore can take credit for something else, too: she affirmed Fela's use of weed. Fela had first smoked in London in 1960 or 1961; during his time with Izsadore, he began to use weed regularly, continuing to do so until the end of his life. \"Go Slow\" was one of several songs Fela recorded which critiqued the consequences of over-rapid urbanization - in this case, traffic jams - using them as a metaphor to describe deeper social breakdowns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Up Side Down\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Go Slow\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 720841205913\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Partisan Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.14.16\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e MCA Records (314 549 247-2); Barclay (314 549 247-2)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2001  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e US\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpside Down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Upside Down – 14:43\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Go Slow – 14:35\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMusic Of Many Colours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 2000 Blacks Got To Be Free – 18:37\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Africa Centre Of The World – 17:31\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCredits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePompon Finkelstein – Remastered By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFela Kuti – Written-By, Composed By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"relix.shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54547585237310,"sku":"183050","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4609\/5166\/files\/packshot-fela-kuti-upside-down-180-gram-lp-vinyl-vinyl-lp-relix.jpg?v=1791061458"},{"product_id":"fela-kuti-army-arrangement-lp-vinyl","title":"Fela Kuti – Army Arrangement","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded in 1985, Army Arrangement arrived as Fela Anikulapo-Kuti was navigating one of the most turbulent stretches of his life, just years after soldiers had ransacked his Kalakuta Republic commune and his mother, Funmilayo, was thrown from a window during a military raid.

(Vagabonds In Power), Authority Stealing and Coffin For Head Of State. In \"International Thief Thief,\" Fela makes highly insulting, personal attacks on former Nigerian president General Obasanjo, and Moshood Abiola, the local chief executive of the multi-national corporations Internal Telephone \u0026amp; Telegraph (ITT) and Decca Records. Obasanjo Fela regarded as a crook, an incompetent and a thug, and held him responsible for the death of his mother following the 1977 sack of Kalakuta. Abiola, he believed, had both cheated him out of royalties and conspired with Decca's London bosses to silence him after the 1977 attack, in order to maintain favourable relations with Obasanjo's regime. Both men, Fela says, are \"thieves,\" \"rats\" and of \"low mentality.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. I.T.T.

Fear Not For Man was one of the first albums to be released by Fela following the sacking of his Kalakuta Republic compound by 1,000 soldiers in February 1977. Fela, along with many other Kalakuta residents, was brutally beaten; his mother, then aged 77, was thrown out of a window, fracturing a leg. The army set fire to the compound, destroying six Afrika 70 vehicles, all Fela's master tapes and band equipment, a four-track recording studio, and all the community members' personal belongings. It is doubtful, contrary to some sources, that Fear Not For Man was recorded after the attack - doubt which isn't dispelled by the gruesome front sleeve design, showing blood flowing down Fela's face. His response came later, on albums such as Unknown Soldier (1979) and Coffin For Head Of State (1980); Fela's practice of no longer performing a song live once he had released it on record is the reason for the two\/three year gap between the attack and the release of these albums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Fear Not For Man (14:14)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Palm Wine Sound (15:25)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 720841204114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Partisan Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.16.15\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Knitting Factory Records (KFR5011)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2016  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e USA \u0026amp; Europe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCD One: Open And Close \/ Afrodisiac\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-1 Open \u0026amp; Close – 14:55\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-2 Swegbe And Pako – 12:30\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-3 Gbagada Gbagada Gbagodo Gbogodo – 9:19\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-4 Alu Jon Jonki Jon – 12:41\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-5 Jeun Ko Ku (Chop 'n Quench) – 7:14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-6 Eko Ile – 6:41\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-7 Je Nwi Temi (Don't Gag Me) – 13:15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCD Two: J.J.D.

Originally released in 1977, J.J.D. (Johnny Just Drop) features Fela lampooning Nigeria's \"been-tos,\" people who had been to Europe or America to work or study, and then returned (dropped) home with European social pretensions and an inferiority complex about African culture. The audio has been restored and remastered from Fela's original Nigerian recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 720841208310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Partisan Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.13.19\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. J.J.D.

The two extended compositions here show how Afrobeat's architecture, long builds, locked rhythms, and horn punctuation, could carry social critique as naturally as any speech or pamphlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLimited orange colored vinyl LP pressing. Excuse-O isn't just a showcase of Fela's ability to build a groove that could fill a full LP side; it's a masterclass in personal and political criticism wrapped in two exceptional extended grooves. The title track A-side is a jittery rhythm where Fela sings of the many small agitating things that he comes across that could lead to an argument, or if unchecked, escalate to a fistfight; the track culminates in his annoyance of finding another man chatting up a woman he just went to buy a drink for. The B-side is a denunciation of Nigerians' cultural inferiority complex and how the use of \"proper English\" language affected all aspects of one's life. This pointed commentary on post-colonial life is set in a smoother groove with call-and-response vocals driving the message home. This album marks the moment he moved away from singing exclusively in Yoruba and began to sing more in Pidgin, or as he called it \"Broken English,\" to widen the appeal of his music.

While Fela's recorded output slowed up as the '80s progressed - largely as a result of ongoing arrests, beatings and jailings - his final years of recording produced some of his strongest work, notably Teacher Don't Teach Me Nonsense (1986), Beasts Of No Nation (1989), Overtake Don Overtake Overtake (1990) and Underground System.

The re-release is an opportunity for new fans to be exposed to this masterpiece LP, old fans to explore a NMS classic through fresh ears, and for the band to reflect back on the record they made nearly 15 years ago. As far as recording the record, there was nothing new about the approach. By this time the band had found a formula for making records that they found to make most sense and suit their chemistry well. Richard Formby was their goto engineer and Hall Place Studios in Leeds, was the space that breeds the desired sounds. This process would remain the same until the band started making records in the United States a few years later. The KU 'Plug \u0026amp; Play' Reissue is snapshot in time of a band that was around their 10 year mark of their career. There's an undeniable chemistry and energy captured in the recordings that could only come from musicians who were tapped in and listening to one another's ideas and playing. With each track leaving you wondering how they were able to find that much pocket, and how much deeper could it possibly go!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Hole In The Bag (3:22)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. I Mean It So (3:45)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Thermal Bad (4:09)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Looking For An Answer (3:29)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Altitude (5:58)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Kuna Matata (3:19)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide C\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Chrysalis (3:29)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Idris (3:49)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. All We Can Do (4:45)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide D\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Beyond The Bleak Horizon (5:14)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. King Comforter (3:51)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. All We Can Do\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 824833035899\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e King Underground\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.3.22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e One Note (ONRLP011)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2008  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e UK\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA1 Hole In The Bag – 3:22\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA2 I Mean It So – 3:45\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA3 Thermal Bad – 4:09\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA4 Looking For An Answer – 3:29\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA5 Altitude – 5:58\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB1 Kuna Matata – 3:19\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB2 Chrysalis – 3:29\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB3 Idris – 3:49\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB4 All We Can Do – 4:45\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB5 Beyond The Bleak Horizon – 5:14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB6 King Comforter – 3:51\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCredits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFabrice Garcia Aka Brother Jug – Artwork By (Sleeve Design)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePete Shand – Bass Guitar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimon Allen (6) – Drums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEddie Roberts – Guitar, Tambourine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePete Norman – Mastered By (Vinyl Mastering)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRichard Formby – Mastered By, Recorded By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoe Tatton – Organ, Piano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimon Allen (6) – Other (Label Management)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSam Bell (2) – Percussion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEddie Roberts – Producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTroy Howe – Vocals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDionne Charles – Vocals (Featuring)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEddie Roberts – Written-By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoe Tatton – Written-By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePete Shand – Written-By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimon Allen (6) – Written-By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDionne Charles – Written-By (Additional)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTroy Howe – Written-By (Additional)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"relix.shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54547778994494,"sku":"642983","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4609\/5166\/files\/12633304498494-transparent-v2.png?v=1791443429"},{"product_id":"tyla-a-pop-lp-vinyl","title":"Tyla – A*POP","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTyla announced herself to the world with \"Water,\" a song that spread through social media and onto dance floors across six continents before earning her the first-ever Grammy for Best African Music Performance in 2024.
