In 1971, Fela Kuti had a pair of local hit singles with “Chop And Quench” and “Don’t Gag Me,” the latter his most overtly political song to date. That same year, Kuti and his Afrika ’70 band travelled to London’s Abbey Road Studio to record new material, and used the occasion to re-record some of his recent hits. The following year (or two), the new recordings of “Chop And Quench” and “Don’t Gag Me” were released with “Eko Ile” and “Alu Jon Jonki Jon” (from the same Abbey Road sessions) as Afrodisiac.
On first listen, it sounds as though Fela has taken a step back from the stunning double-guitar attack of Roforofo Fight but this music was actually recorded with the earlier lineup—Peter Animashaun on rhythm guitar, Maurice Ekpo on bass, Igo Chico on tenor sax, etc. Thus, Afrodisiac sounds a lot like the music recorded during the same period: Fela’s London Scene and Live!
Vinyl, LP, Reissue
Tracklist:
A1 Alu Jon Jonki Jon
A2 Jeun Ko Ku (Chop And Quench)

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
