Notes

The sleeve features photographs of a protest on September 30th 1979, the day before the head of Nigeria's military regime, General Obasanjo, was to hand power to a democratically elected civilian president, Shehu Shagari.

During the protest, the symbolic coffin of Fela's mother
was laid at the entrance to Dodan Barracks, Obasanjo's residence.

Fela's mother, Funmilayo Ransome Kuti, an activist and politician, had died the previous year
following injuries sustained in an attack by 'Unknown Soldiers' on Fela's Kalakuta compound.

Coffin finds Fela castigating Muslim and Christian leaders for idling while the government raped and pillaged, and it boasts a visionary quality in the antiphonal Amens that gets bounced through the band. Filling out this double-length CD is Unknown Soldier, a pointed musical assault on the government's position that unknown soldiers had perpetrated the Kalakuta attack, when Fela well knew that the 1,000-man rampage was officially sanctioned.
