Vinyl LP Reissue

Knitting Factory Records reissues Fela Kuti's V.I.P. (Vagabonds In Power), previously only available as part of the Box Set series. Recorded live at the Berlin Jazz Festival in autumn 1978 and released the following year, it is a ferocious, lyrically exalted attack on the abuse of state power, and the last album Fela made with drummer Tony Allen, who had been with him since 1964. The audio has been restored and remastered from Fela's original Nigerian recordings, with artwork recreated from the original.
