Knitting Factory Records reissue Fela Kuti’s ‘Underground System’ on vinyl, previously only available as part of the Box Set series.

The last album of newly recorded material to be released during Fela’s lifetime, 1992’s ‘Underground System’ is an outstanding swansong. While Fela’s recorded output slowed up as the 1980s progressed – largely as a result of ongoing arrests, beatings and jailings – his final years of recording produced some of his strongest work, notably ‘Teacher Don’t Teach Me Nonsense’ (1986), ‘Beasts Of No Nation’ (1989), ‘Overtake Don Overtake Overtake’ (1990) and ‘Underground System’.

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
