Musically in-for-the-kill, forward-looking and dubwise; politically scathing. From 1985, when T was living in Harlesden. Aswad horns.
The first of his three Fela-produced solo LPs, from 1975.
From 1976, same golden year as Zombie. The A-side features Fela, playing saxophone; the B is dancefloor murder.
‘What I was saying was that, instead of fighting with Fela for money, I was trying to progress and create on my own. If I kept waiting around for money from Fela, I would still be in the Egypt 80 today.’

‘CD Of The Week… the best soul album — in the real sense of the word — you’ll hear this year… classic, blistering afro-beat’, Daily Telegraph; ‘as tight as a pressure cooker… fierce and fun’, The Wire.
This mix by Mark Ernestus — one half of the Basic Channel, Maurizio and Rhythm And Sound teams — kicks off our series of reworkings of tracks from Tony Allen’s Lagos No Shaking album.
