Greetings.
Paul Winley released Afrika Bambaataa - Death Mix Live in 1983 . It was a cassette to vinyl transfer of a live event. The credits state that it was recorded at James Monroe High School, Bronx, N.Y. The audio quality is poor but it is a rare quintessential glimpse of the disco rap era of Hip Hop. With infectious breaks , vocal delay , low torque turntables & record skipping.
The source.
Was this recording really a single event? The mc's disappear at the end of the original recording. A.. B. is also displeased with the product & Paul Winley in this interview in David Toop book from 1984. Ive contacted Jazzy Jay & many from the tape trading , old school scene & also Universities which archive Hip Hop. I would welcome more details .
MC's.. Master Ice , Sundance
A side.
The Jackson 5 - It's Great to Be Here.
Grand master Flash and The Furious Five - Superappin
Joey D. Vieira - Straight Rock
Rick James - Fire it up
B side.
Queen Samantha - Take A Chance. [ I think Herbie Hancock - Rockit is related to the hi hat sequence break ]
Coalkitchen - Keep On Pushin.
Yellow Magic Orchestra - Firecracker.
Vernon Burch - Get up and dance.
The Chocolate Jam Co – Chocolate.
Archie Bell & The Drells - I Can't Get Enough Of Your Love.
