Fela Ransome Kuti & Africa 70 – Expensive Shit (New Vinyl)

NEW LP

New sealed copy. 2022 reissue.

Expensive Shit is the twelfth full-length album by pioneering Afrobeat artist Fela Kuti and his Africa '70 band, released in 1975. Throughout the early seventies, Fela Kuti lived in the Kalakuta Republic in Nigeria, a compound that also housed his family, his bandmates, and a recording studio. Due to Kuti's vocal anti-militaristic views, the police saw him and his compound as a political and social threat, often arresting Kuti and raiding the compound.

It was ranked number 78 on Pitchfork's "Top 100 Albums of the 1970s" list. 2020, in their list of "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time", Rolling Stone ranked Expensive Shit number 402.
