Expensive Shit is the twelfth full-length album by pioneering Afrobeat artist Fela Kuti and his Africa '70 band, released in 1975. The title track refers to an incident in 1974 when the Nigerian police planted a joint on Kuti. Before his arrest, he ate the joint, but the police brought him into custody and waited for him to do a poo. Legend has it that he managed to use another inmate’s faeces and was eventually released!
