William Onyeabor LP/CD Box Set out 11/18!
Dearest all fans of William Onyeabor:
Though many of Onyeabor’s most wonderful tracks are featured on the Who Is William Onyeabor? compilation, there simply wasn’t room for countless others. So, due to the overwhelmingly positive response to his work, ALL of Onyeabor’s creative output will be released on November 18, available as 2 hand-numbered LP boxes or 1 CD box with 9 CDs. The set comes with lovely booklets and has a 45" with an amazing remix on one side. Special thanks to Yego M. Moravia, Kevin Harris, and Anna Laytham, whose hard work is responsible for the box set’s beautiful design.
