Fela Kuti & The Africa ‘70 with Ginger Baker ‘Live!’ red coloured double vinyl LP.

50th Anniversary issue of the legendary record Fela Kuti made with Ginger Baker of Cream.  This Anniversary edition features a newly unearthed second drum solo from Tony Allen and Ginger Baker, taken from Afrika 70’s performance at the 1978 Berlin Jazz Festival. Part I has never appeared on vinyl and this second part has never been heard - until now. 

1978’s Berlin Jazz Festival marked Afrika 70’s final live performance with Fela. In the Spring of 1979, several members of Afrika 70, including Allen, would leave the band. Allen had been with Fela since 1964. 1980 saw the birth of Egypt 80, with Baritone saxophonist Lekan Animashaun, who had been with Fela since 1965, as its founding member.

Reissued with Abbey Road mastered audio.
