He Miss Road & Expensive Shit
More Info
He Miss Road - Ginger Bakerâs idiosyncratic production gives this album an attractive dusting of psychedelia (the best Nigerian weed of the era was as potent as a dose of Owsley Stanleyâs acid over in San Francisco). The keyboard and horn sounds are tweaked and the mix is more skeletal than the norm for Africa 70, allowing the listener to hear shekere, sticks and conga with a clarity obscured by denser mixes. As one would expect, Baker also makes sure fellow drummer Tony Allenâs kit is sympathetically miked. Expensive Shit - A kind of Part Two to 1974âs âAlagbon Close,â the title track here focuses in more detail (and with more humour) on the policeâs attempt to nail Fela for possession of weed following the May 1974 raid on Kalakuta Republic.
