agree that member price on this isn't terrible, AND was glad to see teacher/educator discount options added to the SheerID stuff, so I was able to save 15%

FYI i believe the 15% off code is multi-use.

yeah, that's what i was hoping, but said single-use & apparently that's the case. i also figured i could just get a new one via SheerID, but now that's saying "we couldn't verify you w/ the info you submitted," so who knows? at least i used it for a good sized order, but maybe should've saved it for an Antho down the road if it's the only one i'll ever get...

That mobile20 code that was going around last week MIGHT still work for this if you haven't used it yet. I tried and it gave me a "you already used this code" error.

would heavily recommend you stream the album online -- this album is often found under this title, "best of the black president" or also "best best of the black president". There's also "best of the black president 2". And then maybe stream the full album versions of some of the songs, to see how you feel about 'em. like shuffering and shmiling goes from 21 minutes on the album to 12 minutes on the edit here, which is still pretty generous IMO. all the edits are pretty similar, at least on the CD version. Fela's albums tended to be either 1 long 30+ minute song, split into 2 parts, one per side, or they were 2 songs, roughly 15-20 minutes each. very rarely he would do a 20 minute on side A, and side B would be 2 "shorter" songs. the songs themselves have long solo or vamp sections and mostly these are what have been cut out. Even with these cuts, the 2CD comp is definitely missing some pretty important material, although I think it does cover the most necessary parts of his work (even if you do miss out on "trouble sleep yanga wake am" from Roforofo Fight.)

To be fair, he’s got too many great songs to put on one “greatest hits” type box. Femi chose these apparently

When you're famous they let you curate it. You can curate anything.

I’m kinda tempted to pick up what they have from the first set two. Any clangers in there or are they similarly brill.
Yeah. Dr No is ace. But to file them under Off Air or the individual artists?
