{"product_id":"fela-s-first-the-complete-1959-melodisc-session","title":"Fela's First - The Complete 1959 Melodisc Session","description":"\u003cp\u003eLegendary Afrobeat pioneer Fela Ransome Kuti's first recordings of highlife and calypso, recorded in London in 1959, on a limited edition 10\". Two of the tracks are released here for the first time ever!! The tape of the very first Fela Ransome Kuti recording session has languished in a series of dusty cupboards and damp basements for 60 years. It's a miracle that it has survived in such fine condition. The original Melodisc single, comprising side A of this release, was for long thought lost until a copy of the session acetate turned up and was reissued as part of the superb Soundway compilation \u003ci\u003eHighlife on the Move \u003c\/i\u003e(2014). However the two tracks on side B of this album have never been issued in any form and are reproduced here in all their glory for the very first time! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP: track 1. Fela’s Special \/ track 2. Alcana \/ track 3. Highlife Rakers Calypso \/ track 4.
