To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Fela Kuti's classic Open & Close, Knitting Factory Records and Cooking Vinyl Australia issue the first vinyl pressing of this album since the 1980s. This edition features a return to the original gatefold jacket and contains side B tracks 'Swegbe & Pako', and 'Gbagada Gbagada Gbogodo Gbogodo'.

"Perhaps the distinguishing factors of records like Open & Close and some of Fela's other '70s releases are that as much as he liked to ride a groove, he also liked to disrupt it, twist it and turn it, reshape it, only to bring it back to its original shape. There was less of that later in his career" - AllMusic

Tracks:

A1. Open & Close
B1. Swegbe & Pako
