5.0 out of 5 stars More Classic Fela Reissued, July 15, 2003
This review is from: Ikoyi Blindness / Kalakuta Show (Audio CD)
"Ikoyi Blindness/Kalakuta Show" is another gem in the Fela two-albums-on-one-CD reissue series on MCA. Both original LPs, "Ikoyi Blindness" and its b-side "Gba Mi Leti Ki N'Dolowo (Slap Me Make I Get Money)," and "Kalakuta Show" and its b-side "Don't Make Garan Garan," were issued in 1976. These albums were part of what was arguably Fela's greatest period as he released more than a dozen albums between 1975-77! While "Zombie" and "Opposite People" are clearly the essential recordings from this period, this disc, and all of the Fela reissues, are really indispensable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Two Strong Albums, April 7, 2006
By 
Scott McFarland (Manassas, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ikoyi Blindness / Kalakuta Show (Audio CD)
Each of these LPs is quite strong on its own. This material is from Fela's mid-70's period, when the guitars were massing and providing great continuum in many of the songs, and his music was deeply funky. But you'll also hear great, perfect horn arrangements on some tracks here.
