2021 marks the 50th anniversary of two of Fela Kuti’s most beloved recordings: “London Scene”, as well as the legendary double-album “Live! With Ginger Baker” he made with Ginger Baker of Cream.
Both albums will be reissued on limited coloured vinyl via Partisan Records, with Abbey Road mastered audio and a collector’s edition gold foil 50th anniversary obi strip. “London Scene” comes on blue, red and white coloured splatter vinyl, while the 2lp-2021-reissue of “Live! With Ginger Baker” comes on red vinyl, with a beautiful frontcover edge design in red and blue as side D. It also contains the bonus-track “Ginger Baker & Tony Allen Drum Solo, part 1 (Live At Berlin Jazz Festival, 1978)” and the physically unreleased track “Ginger Baker & Tony Allen Drum Solo, part 2 (Live At Berlin Jazz Festival, 1978)”, which only became digitally available since yesterday. The Berlin Jazz Festival-gig marked Afrika 70’s final live-performance with Fela Kuti.
