About this product
Limited transparent green colored vinyl LP pressing. This edition of Original Sufferhead is a major event. With the of box set #5, and now on this reissue, the title track of this magnificent album is presented in it's full-length, 25 minutes 24 seconds glory. While preparing the master disc for the box set, our engineer Jedi, Colin Young, discovered four minutes of InchlostInch material on the B-side of the original pressing, including a superb keyboard solo by Fela. This had been omitted from subsequent reissues. The restored version used here starts and finishes with Fela's keyboard work, a typically venturesome blend of futurism and visceralism. Original Sufferhead was the first album Fela released under Egypt 80's name (he had disbanded Afrika 70 in 1979). On the title track, arguing from the personal to the political, Fela describes the inhuman treatment and poor living conditions experienced by working class Nigerians, the people he called sufferheads. In InchPower Show,Inch Fela sings about the two-tier system dividing Nigerian society, in which the rich get treated one way and the poor another.

Limited blue colored vinyl LP pressing. This album was Fela's full-on sonic revenge on the military regime that attacked and brutalized him and his compound in Lagos twice in 1974. The raids on his Kalakuta Republic were an attempt by the Nigerian police and army to silence Fela. Brought to trial on trumped up charges with no substantive evidence, the court dismissed the case, set him free, and made him an even larger hero to the people of Nigeria. The album narrative delves deeply in the post-colonial corruption of Nigerian institutions and the grueling and brutal manner the police and the military treated all unfortunate enough to be caught up in their grip. This edition is pressed on Gulf of Guinea Blue (opaque blue) vinyl.
![Saeko - Holy Are We Alone - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/43e04724-ba1e-41fc-8e9f-60aed1ffcfd5.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Saeko was formed in 2003 by Japanese singer, Saeko Kitamae, who flew to Germany to find a heavy metal band to join. Saeko performed at festivals such as Wacken Open Air as the first Asian female singer. For some reasons she had to fly back to Japan, after only two albums, to the disappointment of many. 2 years ago she was relocating from Japan to Germany only for her music again. Saeko's music is the unique result created by fusion of Japanese and European elements. This individual identity is even more developed on the new album An epic with a concept story of a spirit reincarnating through different areas of the world -a sequel to the 1st and 2nd albums. The blend of classic/folkloristic elements and the metal approach resulted in music no one has heard of. It is an unforgettable experience made by Saeko's non-compromising attitude. Sometimes quiet and reflective, sometimes powerful, intense, with lyrics in English, Japanese, German, even Hawaiian and Sanskrit. It will surely inspire both intellectual and emotional minds of yours. True devotion to Heavy Metal.
