Dear Soulstrutters

This looks like a great forthcoming 3 lp box set.

    is it finally happening??

    as nice as it is to have a bunch of his tunes compiled and given a nice release, I wish they were doing full reissues of his albums instead.

    and as far as other Onyeabor-related mysteries go, is there any hint of the film "Crashes in Love" actually existing? And did he make other films? I can't imagine what a Wilfilms production would be like, considering his musical insanity.

    seriously, if you add international shipping it's practically the going rate for an OG of some of his releases, just not Good Name.
