The Best of the Black President is the 13 track guide to Fela Kuti’s massive and manifold creative career. This is the first time the compilation is available on vinyl. Designed by founder of New York-based clothing and design brand Head of State, Taofeek Abijako, this 4x LP set is housed in a hardbound book jacket that doubles as a Ludo game board. The packaging includes a perforated sheet of game pieces, dice, and instructions on how to play Ludo. This edition, limited to 3000 units globally, features a brand new introduction written by “Fela Kuti: Fear No Man” host Jad Abumrad; re-imagined artwork from Fela’s longtime collaborator Lemi Ghariokwu (known for creating 26 of Fela’s iconic album covers); and four LPs pressed on red, green, blue, and yellow vinyl that feature classic tracks like “Zombie,” “Water No Get Enemy,” and “Lady”.
