    Knitting Factory Records
      • 1. J.J.D. (Johnny Just Drop) Part I
      • 2. J.J.D. (Johnny Just Drop) Part II

      Originally released in 1977, ‘Johnny Just Drop (J.J.D.)’ features Fela lampooning Nigeria’s ‘been-tos’, people who had been to Europe or America to work or study and then returned (dropped) home with European social pretensions and an inferiority complex about African culture.
