The album's unflinching critique of Nigeria's military-civilian power structure is Fela at his most politically precise, translating lived trauma into extended Afrobeat grooves that hit harder knowing the personal cost behind them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKnitting Factory Records reissues Fela Kuti's Army Arrangement on vinyl LP, previously only available as part of the Box Set series. Army Arrangement is about Nigeria's attempt at 'democracy' in 1979 after more than a decade of military rule. The audio has been restored and remastered from Fela's original Nigerian recordings. The artwork has been meticulously recreated from original album artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 720841205418\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!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Celluloid (CELL 6109)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1985  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e US\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Army Arrangement – 16:40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB1 Cross Examination – 11:52\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB2 Government Chicken Boy – 5:48\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCredits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFemi Kuti – Alto Saxophone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatrick Di Meglio – Artwork (Art Work Concept)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGilles Chagny – Artwork (Picture)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAchampong – Baritone Saxophone (2nd)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHerman Menimade Addo – Bass Guitar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOla Jagun – Congas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAiyb Dieng – Drum Machine (Yamaha Rx 11), Percussion (Chatan), Cowbell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrancis Fuster – Drums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBernie Worrell – Electric Organ (Hammond B3)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSly Dunbar – Electronic Drums (Simmons Drums)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOye Shobowale – Flugelhorn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLekan Animashaun – Leader, Baritone Saxophone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFosiber – Maracas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHowie Weinberg – Mastered By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLamtey – Percussion (Sticks)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDele Sosimi – Piano (Rhythm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBill Laswell – Producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFela Kuti – Producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial – Producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOAO – Producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRobert Musso – Recorded By, Mixed By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChukwudi Aroga – Rhythm Guitar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeji Ifarunmi – Rhythm Guitar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFela Kuti – Soprano Saxophone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAiyb Dieng – Talking Drum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOkalue Ojeah – Tenor Guitar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOyinade Adeniran – Tenor Saxophone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAkameah – Trumpet (2nd)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"relix.shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54547585335614,"sku":"200722","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4609\/5166\/files\/12633225920830-transparent-v2.png?v=1791436073","url":"https:\/\/reserveselects.myshopify.com\/products\/fela-kuti-army-arrangement-lp-vinyl","provider":"Reserve Selects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
