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. The restored version used here starts and finishes with Fela’s keyboard work, a typically venturesome blend of futurism and visceralism. On the title track, arguing from the personal to the political, Fela describes the inhuman treatment and poor living conditions experienced by working class Nigerians, the people he called sufferheads. In 'Power Show,' Fela sings about the two-tier system dividing Nigerian society, in which the rich get treated one way and the poor another.\" - Knitting Factory Records\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFela Kuti's 1st full-length recording w\/ the newly formed Egypt 80 band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eincludes the full 25+ minute title track on vinyl for the 1st time in 40+ years, w\/ original B-side 'Power Show'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003elight green 'ewuro' colored vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eincludes printed liner note insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003elimited edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoriginal release year: 1981\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Knitting Factory Records 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!---ALSO AVAILABLE START---\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eALSO AVAILABLE\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/fela-kuti-vinyl-box-set-6-compiled-by-idris-elba-vinyl-7lp-boxset\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFela Kuti: Vinyl Box Set #6 Compiled by Idris Elba\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/fela-kuti-ikoyi-blindness-colored-vinyl-vinyl-lp\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFela Kuti: Ikoyi Blindness - Colored Vinyl LP\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/fela-kuti-o-d-o-o-overtake-don-overtake-overtake-colored-vinyl-vinyl-lp\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFela Kuti: O.D.O.O. - Overtake Don Overtake Overtake - Colored Vinyl LP\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!---ALSO AVAILABLE END---\u003e","brand":"Fela Kuti","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":40522386014298,"sku":"fr-5050","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/files\/felakuti-originalsufferhead-coloredvinyl-1.jpg?v=1762284918","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/fela-kuti-original-sufferhead-colored-vinyl-vinyl-lp","provider":"turntablelab.mom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
