Knitting Factory Records announces Fela Kuti Box Set #3 - 7 vinyl reissues from the Fela catalog, curated by Brian Eno: London Scene (1971), Shakara (1972), Gentleman (1973), Afrodisiac (1973), Zombie (1976), Upside Down (1976), and I.T.T. (1980). The box set comes with a poster, 12-page booklet with a foreword by Eno, song lyrics, and in-depth commentaries by Afrobeat historian Chris May. “I remember the first time I listened [to Felas album Afrodisiac] and how dazzled I was by the groove and the rhythmic complexity, and by the raw, harsh sounds of the brass, like Mack trucks hurtling across highways with their horns blaring. Everything I thought I knew about music at that point was up in the air again.” --Brian Eno
