    *Blink and you'll miss this - White vinyl in clear PVC sleeve (ltd. ed. 500 copies)*Wicked reissue album of an extremely rare early recording from cult african hero Fela Ransome-Kuti with his first band Koola lobitos legendary live set at the Afro Spot in Lagos in 1966!

    After several years spent in London--at first studying medicine (!), and then switching over to music at London's Trinity College--Fela returned home to Nigeria where he began training to become a radio producer. It was during this time that Fela also formed his first Nigerian band, the Koola Lobitos (featuring Tony Allen on drums & Isaan Olasugba on alto sax), and began experimenting with a new kind of music that brought together elements of jazz (with three saxophones and two trumpets) and traditional Nigerian highlife music. Fela called his new sound Afro Beat and it would soon make him a star.
    Fela reissue on vinyl come around once in a blue moon - don't sleep!
