The reissue of Original Sufferhead is a landmark release, featuring the full 25-minute title track for the first time since its original pressing—now restored with a lost four-minute keyboard solo by Fela Kuti. This album marked Fela’s debut with Egypt 80 after disbanding Afrika 70. The title track delivers a powerful critique of the harsh realities faced by Nigeria’s working class, while “Power Show” confronts the nation’s deep social inequalities. A vital, restored classic from the Afrobeat pioneer.
