pioneer Fela Kuti's popular back catalogue. Following previous editions curated by

and singer Idris Elba aka Big Driis and features the classics Open & Close (1972),
Music of Many Colours (1980), Stalemate (1977), I Go Shout Plenty!!!! (1977), Live in
Amsterdam (1983) and Opposite People (1977).

Limited to 5,000 copies, the box set features the artwork of each album faithfully re-
produced from the original vinyl pressings, as well as a 24-page booklet with the lyrics,
commentary on each album by renowned Afrobeat historian Chris May, previously
unpublished photos and an introduction by Elba. All box sets are accompanied by a
special 16" x 24" poster designed by Lemi Ghariokwu, the creative force behind many
of Fela's groundbreaking album covers.
