The eighties weren't known as Fela's finest period. He was under much pressure from the Nigerian government and extensive touring of the US and Europe lead to a dearth of good material. 'Teacher Don't Teach Me Nonsense' from 1986 is considered the exception, featuring two extended tracks of more melancholy and deeply soulful Afro-Beat expressions. The CD is presented in a deluxe digipack, with booklet including Fela's biography and track-by-track commentary from Afrobeat historian Chris May.
