Knitting Factory Records presents the first of the long-awaited vinyl reissues from the Fela Kuti catalog. This is the first in a series of curated Vinyl Box sets. These six albums were chosen by noted Fela-head, ?uestlove from The Roots. Each album features the painstakingly recreated authentic album artwork along with vintage vinyl labels.
Also included in the box is a poster from a 1986 Austin, TX Fela concert and a 12 page full-color booklet with an essay by ?uestlove and album descriptions by the veteran British music journalist, Chris May.
