This Fela Kuti Vinyl Box #4 is great. I should have picked up the other three, now they're all stupid prices. Quality is reasonable, a hint of tape noise in the quiet parts, and I'm hearing some digital compression in the vocals.

[Mateo Sanboval]

I have all four; it's a glorious endeavor.

Her best album in years.

[texasvinyl]

One of those records that ought to be in every collection. Just a fantastic album.

[texasvinyl]

Nice work from home day. I might just listen to Curtis records all day long.

"Got to Find a Way"

[Jimmy_Mike]

@Tex - I'm living vicariously through you today. You can do it, Super Fly.

[texasvinyl]

Mellow, understated grooves make for an excellent live double album.

[texasvinyl]

Roots! Another solid album. On my copy someone must have said "fuck this unipak sleeve" and just cut off the back flap.

[texasvinyl]

1980, but still a keeper despite a few disco flourishes here and there. Some great drumming on a couple of tracks too

[Mateo Sanboval]

I love Curtis, but I only own his solo stuff through Short Eyes. Still, Roots and Curtis remain among my all time favorite records.

[texasvinyl]

I do still need a copy of Curtis and Short Eyes. Also, I am going nuts trying to find my copy of Super Fly. It's gotta be misfiled. Arrgh

This one is solid though. Staple Singers over Curtis tracks including an instrumental funk jam "Big Mac"

Killer spins @texas, I only have superfly :( on wax at least. Any love for Leroy Hutson? also on Curtom, and a fellow member of the Impressions, I'm big fan of him also.

No Leroy Hutson, will have to check him out. Discogs credits him on a couple things I have like Johnny Hammond Higher Ground on Kudu and Roberta Flack's First Take. I went through my whole damn collection and still couldn't find Super Fly. No idea where it went. Went ahead and ordered another copy.

[Dollarhyde]

@texas Hutson's maybe not as political as Curtis, and much more on a feel good vibe, but that is no bad thing. Musically the guy is a real maestro and is a bit of an underated artist considering the amount and quality of his output. The albums Hutson, Hutson II and closer to the source are definitely worth checking, saying that all of his stuff I've heard has been great.

[texasvinyl]

Replaced my disappeared copy of Super Fly.. still need the self titled debut album if anyone knows where to cop a decently priced clean original copy of that one.

[texasvinyl]

Awesome Brazilian stuff. Psych folk rock, "post Tropicalia"

[texasvinyl]

Mr Bongo reissue of Krishnanda. It's an ok reissue. I like that it's a replica reissue, but the sound isn't perfect. I suppose it's possible the original doesn't sound perfect either, who knows, they're insanely scarce so I'll never hear one!

It's just a fantastic record though. Insert various superlatives.

Various superlatives?? Holy shit @tex - will investigate further!! :)

[Mateo Sanboval]

That's a good album.

[Mateo Sanboval]

Now everybody's gonna know.

Not my favourite Tom Waits record by a good margin, but the recent remix convinced me to double dip and give it another chance.

[chiefbrody]

Just finished listening to this. Saw the singer from Richmond Fontaine a couple of weeks ago promoting his new book. Seems like a good egg. A couple of his books have soundtracks to them, including his new one, Don't Skip Out on Me.
