Knitting Factory Records reissue Fela Kuti’s ‘Johnny Just Drop (J.J.D.)’ on vinyl, previously only available as part of the Box Set series.

The reissue features original album artwork designed by Lemi Ghariokwu, who created the cover art for around half of Fela’s albums.

Originally released in 1977, ‘Johnny Just Drop (J.J.D.)’ features Fela lampooning Nigeria’s ‘beentos’, people who had been to Europe or America to work or study and then returned (dropped) home with European social pretensions and an inferiority complex about African culture.

The reissues arrive at an exciting time for the Fela Kuti legacy, with a new website – felakuti.com – launching. This has been almost a year in the making and holds a huge amount of potential. Alongside new merchandise, editorial and brand collaborations (such as with Carhartt from earlier this year), felakuti.com will function as the primary resource for Fela’s life and affiliate projects online.

LP includes digital download card.

“Fela Kuti is a f*cking genius. Please listen to these tracks, preferably with a nice blunt… with a nice slow burn.” – Erykah Badu
