This vinyl LP pressing of Expensive Shit by Fela Kuti and Afrika 70 is an Afrobeat classic from "The Black President" himself, inspired by a bizarre incident with the police in 1974. Known for being a frequent target of Nigerian authorities, who saw his compound as a political threat, Kuti faced an especially unique situation when police attempted to arrest him by planting a joint on him. The album's title and themes reflect Fela's resilience and defiance in the face of such corruption, making it a significant piece in his storied discography.
