notes

The song "Yellow Fever" shows Fela's contempt towards the practice of women skin-bleaching; associating it with the colonial mentality. The song "Na Poi" was originally banned from the radio because of its graphic description of sex.

Each half of the gatefold sleeve is a copy of one of the original album covers. Includes booklet with notes and lyrics.
