    Review from Allmusic:
    The four (lengthy, as usual) songs occupying this album had been originally recorded in Nigeria as 45 rpm releases. Aphrodisiac consists of re-recordings of these, done in London in the early 1970s. (Confusingly, one part of the liner notes gives the years 1972–1973 as the recording dates, while another section says they were cut in 1971.) While it's true that Fela Kuti's albums from this period are pretty similar to each other, in their favor they're not boring. These four workouts, all sung in Nigerian, are propulsive mixtures of funk and African music, avoiding the homogeneity of much funk and African records of later vintage, done with nonstop high energy. The interplay between horns, electric keyboards, drums, and Fela's exuberant vocals gives this a jazz character, without sacrificing the earthiness that makes it danceable as well. "Jeun Ko Ku (Chop'n Quench)" became Fela's first big hit in Nigeria, selling 200,000 copies in its first six months in its initial version. Aphrodisiac has been combined with another early-'70s album, 1971's Open & Close, on a single-disc 2001 CD reissue on MCA.
    By the way, dear reviewer, Nigerian is not a language, in Nigeria over 500 different languages and dialects are spoken.

    These rips are about 10 years old, 16Bit/44.1kHz resolution was my limit in those days.
