Afrika Bambaataa - Cosmic Force - Zulu Nation Throw Down Volume 1

Afrika Bambaataa - Cosmic Force - Zulu Nation Throw Down Volume 1 - Paul Winley Records 1980 

The Cosmic Force members on this release are:

Chubby Chub, Ice Ice, Ikey C, Lisa Lee. 

This volume from 1980 has a real nice relaxed atmosphere and captures the moment perfectly. Again another favourite of mine in the classic Disco Funk Rap style. 

Here you can see both the original presses.

Afrika Bambaataa - Soul Sonic Force - Zulu Nation Throw Down Volume 2

Afrika Bambaataa - Soul Sonic Force - Zulu Nation Throw Down Volume 2 - Paul Winley Records - 1980

 The Soul Sonic Force members on this release are: 

Mr Biggs, Pow Wow, Globe.

This volume from 1980 is also fairly relaxed however its a little more confident and slightly more aggressive in its rhyme delivery than the previous volume. Again I am a big fan of this record and its classic Disco Funk Rap style.

Fantasy Three - It's Your Rock

Fantasy Three - It's Your Rock

Another all time favourite of mine, capturing the sound of 1983 perfectly. 

Julio Guina aka "Chico" was the guy that paid to produce, manufacture and release Its your rock. 

On later pressings you can see the words CCL Records Inc

That stood for Chico, Charlie and Larry. 

Charlie is (Charlie Rock) 

Larry is (Larry D) 

Silver Fox was not included in the company name.

Roxanne Shante - Roxanne's Revenge

Roxanne Shante - Roxanne's Revenge - Pop Art Records - 1984 

This is the controversial repress from the same year as the original. This contains the remixed music and vocals. I still prefer the Original version that is not found on this 12" although its titled the same.

C-Bank - Get Wet

C-Bank - Get Wet - Next Plateau Records - 1983 

Another heavyweight Electro contender from 1983.

Captain Rock - The Return Of Capt. Rock

Captain Rock - The Return Of Capt. Rock - NIA Records - 1983 

Wow this takes me back! 

Perfect Electro Rap at its best from the legendary member of the Harlem World Crew. 

Timeless.......

Latee - No Tricks

Latee - No Tricks - Wild Pitch Records - 1988 

Not as hard hitting as This Cuts got Flavor but still in the hall of fame.
