Fela Ransome Kuti Vol 1 & 2 ... LP 
EMI/Pathe (France), Early 70s/1977. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
Killer 2LP set that includes a number of harder to find Fela tracks – and way more than the usual best of that you'd expect! The set has 2 tracks per side of an album, for a total of 8 cuts in all – and lots of the titles are tough to find, like "Chop & Quench", "Let' ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Fela & Africa 70 —
Confusion ... LP EMI (UK), Early 70s. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Really mindblowing work from Fela – a seminal 70s set that may well open up even more than any other album from the time – as the leader and Africa 70 stretch out on a single track that takes up the entire record! "Confusion" is almost proggish at the start – with a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

There's lots of driving rhythms on the album, and snakey guitar that criss-crosses in a great way underneath the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Moonrakers Band —
Moonrakers Band ... LP EMI/Afrodelic (Italy), 1974. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A funky psychedelic nugget from the Nigerian scene of the 70s – a record that's got more of a lean small group take on some of the bigger ensemble modes of the period, in a way that really seems to give the Moonrakers Band lots of flexibility with their sound! Some numbers might be a bit ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
EMI/BBE (UK), Late 70s. New Copy ... $9.99 18.99
No charity needed here – as reedman Eji Oyewole's got a wealth of talent on his own!
