    The Comb & Razor Sound label show off a very lavishly packaged double-disc Nigerian afro-rock masterpiece!  

    Recorded in 1978, Semi Colon was an experimental response to Fela Kuti's then-dominant afro-beat sound, substituting Fela's horn's and jazz leanings with wiry electronic guitars and a passion for vintage rock 'n' roll.  Reissued by the same label that bought us "Lagos Disco Inferno" and "Brand New Wayo" - extensive liner notes! The vinyl includes bonus 7" disc-featuring the never-before released 1975 demo recording "Our Fada" - Limited to first 1,000 copies
