While preparing the masters for Box Set #5, audio engineer extraordinaire Colin Young discovered four minutes of “lost” material on the B-side of an original 1981 pressing, which includes a superb keyboard solo by Fela that 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.

Box Set #5 was co-curated by Femi Kuti & Chris Martin (of Coldplay). It's the fifth in a series of Fela vinyl box sets and includes reissues of Original Sufferhead, Why Black Man Dey Suffer, Noise for Vendor Mouth, Kalakuta Show, Excuse O, Ikoyi Blindness, and Overtake Don Overtake Overtake. It will be available on Dec 10, pre-order now: https://felakuti.lnk.to/boxset5
