V.I.P. Fela Kuti SKU: KFR2034-1 Barcode: 0720841204718 17.00 £17.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: Knitting Factory Released Date: 13th December 2019 Buying Format: 1LP Includes Download Code Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Knitting Factory Records reissue Fela Kuti’s ‘V.I.P.’ on vinyl, previously only available as part of the Box Set series. ‘V.I.P.’ (Vagabonds In Power) was recorded live at the Berlin Jazz Festival in Autumn 1978 and released the following year. It is a ferocious and lyrically exalted attack on the abuse of state power. The festival straddled the cusp of the break-up of Afrika 70 and the formation of Egypt 80 in Spring 1979 and ‘V.I.P.’ was the last album Fela made with the drummer Tony Allen, who had been with him since 1964 and acted as Afrika 70’s bandleader. The reissues arrive at an exciting time for the Fela Kuti legacy, with a new website – felakuti.com – launching. This has been almost a year in the making and holds a huge amount of potential. Alongside new merchandise, editorial and brand collaborations (such as with Carhartt from earlier this year), felakuti.com will function as the primary resource for Fela’s life and affiliate projects online. LP includes digital download card. “Fela Kuti is a f*cking genius. Please listen to these tracks, preferably with a nice blunt… with a nice slow burn.” – Erykah Badu Artist Fela Kuti Genre World / Fusion Label Knitting Factory Buying Options 1LP Includes Download Code Format 1LP , Includes Download Code Condition New Country UK Track Listings V.I.P.
