Knitting Factory wird nach und nach den kompletten Fela Katalog neu veröffentlichen (CD und Vinyl):
Knitting Factory Records
Knitting Factory Records is very excited to announce that over the next 18 months, all 45 Fela titles will be remastered and re-released in unique digi-packs with the original artwork. This reissue series will mark the first time all of the titles will be released on vinyl in North America, and also the first official release of the entire catalog of Fela’s 1960s highlife band Koola Lobitos. The first release of the series will be The Best Of The Black President on October 27, 2009, which compiles 13 of the most popular Fela compositions. The deluxe edition of the CD will come with a DVD featuring segments from the film Music is the Weapon, performances from the Berlin Jazz Festival, “Teacher Don’t Teach Me Nonsense“ from the Glastonbury Festival and interviews with choreographer/director Bill T. Jones and Fela biographer Carlos Moore.

Was sich allerdings Jay-Z und Will Smith samt Ehefrau dabei gedacht haben, Fela als Musical zu verramschen, möchte ich gar nicht wissen.
