Oh yeah I appreciate it! I don't even mean "Who?" in the sense that "This artist can't possibly be relevant if *I'VE* never heard of them." More like the opposite, "Oh no my slide into irrelevance is beyond the point of no return."
Truly, I feel this in my old, dusty bones.

I have box sets 1-4. They're all great listens, and are now tough to find for a reasonable price. My only hesitation with this one is Chris Martin as co-curator. Sorry fans of Coldplay, but I'm not among you.Fela Kuti Box Set 5: co-curated by Femi Kuti & Chris Martin - Fela Kuti
Box Set #5 was co-curated by Fela's son, world-renowned multi-instrumentalist and Afrobeat ambassado...
@JohnnyCashFan I know you were asking about Fela lately! these box sets have been really solid so far.
I have two of the boxes and they are awesome. My only slight complaint is that I think some of the box sets had some of the same albums in it? I may be wrong but I think I ended up skipping one of the box sets since some albums were already in another box I owned. Chris Martin as co-curator doesn't really bother me. The albums that come with the box are listed:

I’m ahead of you on that slide. I used to ask “Who’s that? Let me hop over to Spotify and find out!” Then it was just “Who?” And now it’s just <*scroll*>.
I used to care and worry I was missing out on good stuff, but there's a lot I love and I'm still exploring within that. If I ever get bored I can start listening to new folks again, but it's easier on my wallet to dig deeper rather than wider these days.
I asked Doug if he can get them for PBC
Oof
Looks like they’re going to do Dave’s Picks on vinyl. Considering the CDs of the early stuff now fetch $200-400, this is a bargain!
So, perhaps they had some copies leftover or found some, or mixed up pressings (there are few other meh versions out there) but after checking with a couple shops, their distributors are showing the TP as currently OOS.

Still cheaper than some of the new hip-hop albums coming out! But the Dead do seem to assume we are all yuppies with money.
5LP box for $120 ain't that bad.
