The Best Of The Black President signifies the rebirth of Knitting Factory Records. Over the next 18 months, all 45 Fela Kuti titles will be remastered and re-released in unique digi-packs with the original artwork. The reissue series will also mark the first time all of Fela's titles will be released on vinyl in North America, along with the first official release of the entire catalog of Fela's 1960s highlife band Koola Lobitos. Included in this digital DJ promo are three of Fela's classic cuts: "Water No Get Enemy," "Zombie" and "Roforofo Fight" - all from the inaugural release of the re-issue series, The Best Of The Black President.
