Knitting Factory, 1976. New Copy ... $24.99 25.99
The album begins with the side-long "Kalakuta Show" – one of the most powerful tunes ever recorded by Fela Kuti, as it describes a police attack on his compound and all the violence that followed – but all while Tony Allen and Africa 70 serve up these amazing riffing grooves ...

Lagos International/Knitting Factory, 1980. New Copy (reissue)... $24.99
A stunning start to the 80s from Fela Kuti – and a record that has the Egypt 80 band cooking every bit as strongly as Africa 70!

Knitting Factory, Mid 70s. New Copy (reissue)... $24.99 26.99
One of the most compelling Fela albums of the 70s – and one that's got a very different feel than some of his others.

Confusion/Knitting Factory, 1973/1974. Used Gatefold ... Temporarily Out Of Stock

Expensive Sh*t (180 gram pressing) ... LP Knitting Factory, 1975. New Copy (reissue)... Temporarily Out Of Stock

Gentleman (180 gram smoke vinyl pressing) ... LP Knitting Factory, 1973. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock

Shakara (pink vinyl pressing – with bonus yellow vinyl 7" single) ... LP Knitting Factory, 1971. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... Out Of Stock
The cover image here really demonstrates the charisma of Fela at his height – dozens of topless women, kneeling around the maestro and spelling out the number 70 – but to us, the music is what really shows the man's power – a bold, progressive statement of the new energy bubbling ...

Shuffering & Shmiling/Knitting Factory, 1977/1978. Used Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
Shuffering & Shmiling is one of the tougher Fela albums to find, and it's reissued here with the original cover art, and with the super-extended title cut laid out non-stop end to end.

Knitting Factory, 1971. New Copy (reissue)... $24.99 25.99
A smoking lost Afrobeat LP! According to the notes EMI turned this album down when it was recorded in 1971, and we can't imagine what they were thinking – as the set features two lengthy tracks that follow in the best Africa 70s mode! The title track "Why Black Men Dey Suffer" ... (Global Grooves) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Knitting Factory, 1976/1999. New Copy (reissue)... $24.99 26.99

Zombie (180 gram pressing – with download) ... LP Knitting Factory, 1977. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
One of Fela's greatest albums – and one of the few that got any sort of international circulation in the 70s!

Knitting Factory/ORG, 1993. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $22.99 34.99
Legendary jazz drummer William Hooker is in some pretty heady territory here – improvising alongside two different guitarists, both of whom really push the sound in ways that are different than some of Hooker's other records!
