Needles & Grooves

Fela Ransome Kuti* & Africa 70 - Expensive Shit this one is relatively cheap

It's $22 on the official site.

@Turbo i wondered because i checked on the knitting factory label but it wasn't there but its cool its there

Perfect..Thanks! Forgot to check there..got 2 felas while I was at it

what do you think is the best introduction to felas music, knowing that i like more intense more radical and heavy music rather than lengthy tired rhythms and usual jazzy sounds

@duke86fan Not sure Fela would be for you if you don't like lengthy rhythms and jazzy sounds.... his albums follow the formula of one 15 min-ish song per side, some even being a single song in two parts - they settle into a groove and add various instrumental jams (the exception being some of the early 70s albums like Live with Ginger Baker, Afrodisiac and Roforofo Fight which have 4-5 songs).
