Zombie

Credited to Fela Anikulapo-Kuti and the Africa 70, it came out in Nigeria on Coconut (PMLP 1003) late in 1976 and on Polydor in Ghana, then in 1977 on Creole in Britain and Mercury in the United States. The Mercury edition replaced Mister Follow Follow with Monkey Banana and Everything Scatter. Lemi Ghariokwu made the cover from Tunde Kuboye's photographs of an Independence Day military parade, with a hand-lettered title. He later called it Fela's definitive album and one of his boldest moments on record.

Robert Christgau gave it an A- and called it real fusion music. AllMusic's Sam Samuelson called it the band's most popular and impacting record, and Treble's Jeff Terich called it "the absolute pinnacle of Afrobeat". Pitchfork ranked it 90th among the best albums of the 1970s. CD editions added Observation Is No Crime and a live Mistake from Berlin in 1978. In 2025 it became the first Nigerian album inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, and Femi Kuti accepted for the family.
