Boombox is the new instalment of Soul Jazz Records' Boombox series on the early days of hip-hop on vinyl, featuring some of the many innovative underground first-wave of early rap and disco rap records made in the USA between 1979-83. \/\/ The album includes the first releases of seminal groups such as Grandmaster Flash \u0026amp; The Furious Five and The Funky Four Plus One More, through to rarities and little-known obscurities such as the Carver Area High School band's 'Get Live 83', an awesome record made at a Chicago high school. \/\/ This deluxe double CD comes with a 30-page booklet featuring extensive sleeve notes, exclusive photography and original label artwork. \/\/ It features the stunning photography of Sophie Bramly, one of a very select group of photographers who were allowed full access to document the exciting early days of hip-hop in NYC. \/\/ These first exuberant wave of innocent, upbeat, party-on-the-block rap records were the first to try and create the sounds heard in community centres, block parties and street jams that took place in the Bronx in the mid-1970s. Where the first DJs - Flash, Kool Herc and Bambaataa - were back-spinning, mixing and scratching together now classic breakbeat records like The Incredible Bongo Band's Apache or Babe Ruth's The Mexican, these first pre-sampling rap records were all made using live bands, often replaying then current disco tunes. As Chic's 'Good Times' was to 'Rappers' Delight', the songs here feature then-current dancefloor hits such as the Tom Tom Club's 'Genius of Love' or Cheryl Lynn's 'To Be Real' while MCs rapped over the top, creating a unique new sound. \/\/ This new Soul Jazz Records collection celebrates these first old-school rap records, bringing together rare, classic and obscure tracks released in the early days of rap.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 The Carver Area High School Seniors - Get Live '83 (The Senior Rap) \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Mike T - Do It Any Way You Wanna \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Chapter III - Real Rocking Groove (Rap ; Breaks) \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Sinister Two - Rock It, Don't Stop It \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Sangria - to the Beat Y'all \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Funky Four Plus One More - Rappin' and Rocking the House \u003cbr\u003e1.7 The Just Four - Girls of the World (Genius Rap ; Breaks) \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Eye Beta Rock - Super Rock Body Shock \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Funky Constellation - Street Talk (Madam Rapper) \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Kool Kyle the Starchild - Do You Like That Funky Beat (Ahh Beat, Beat) \u003cbr\u003e1.11 The Just Four - Jam to Remember \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five - Super Rappin' No. 2 \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Silver Star - Eei Eei O \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Magic's Trick - Magic's Rap\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Soul Jazz Records Presents","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51611167719739,"sku":"86734060","price":7.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/7894\/7899\/files\/4205432-2985842.jpg?v=1787880156","url":"https:\/\/vinylhaven.shop\/products\/soul-jazz-records-presents-yo-boombox-early-independent-hip-hop-electro-and-disco-rap-1979-83","provider":"vinylhaven","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
