Original Sufferhead Fela Kuti SKU: KFR2039-3 Barcode: 0720841205234 19.00 £19.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: Knitting Factory Released Date: 23rd February 2024 Buying Format: 1LP Coloured Vinyl Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info This edition of ‘Original Sufferhead’ is a major event. With the release of ‘Box Set #5’, and now on this reissue, the title track of this magnificent album is presented in its full-length, 25 minutes, 24 seconds glory. While preparing the master disc for the box set, Partisan 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. ‘Original Sufferhead’ was the first album Fela released with the name Egypt 80 (he had disbanded Afrika 70 in 1979). 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. LP pressed on ewuro (opaque light green) vinyl and housed in a single sleeve jacket.
