Fela Kuti - Kalakuta Show [Blue]

Fela Kuti - Kalakuta Show [Blue]Limited blue colored vinyl LP pressing. This album was Fela's full on sonic revenge on the military regime that attacked and brutalized him and his compound in Lagos twice in 1974. The raids on his Kalakuta Republic were an attempt by the Nigerian police and army to silence Fela. Brought to trial on trumped up charges with no substantive evidence, the court dismissed the case, set him free, and made him an even larger hero to the people of Nigeria.

or even casual Waits fan

"Third World Service"

Their single

warm and unequivocally honest

pairing introspective songwriting with a producer’s sense of atmosphere and restraint

This 2LP vinyl edition highlights the album’s blend of melodic finesse and hard-hitting production

featuring the extraordinary 1967 Smothers Brothers TV show version of My Generation - including exploding drum-kit finale

and the magical "Terraform" a celebratory realisation that you're back on your own Earth again

one of the biggest bands in the world

it preserves the visceral legacy of Camel's original artistry

The result is a combination of Wasner's ability to embrace new levels of vulnerability
