J.D.T.R. - Dady's Great - I'm In Love

J.D.T.R. - Dady's Great - I'm In Love - Gas Records - 1987

 Stumbled across this by accident many years ago while out looking for Hip Hop records & before the word diggin came into fashion. I have treasured it ever since and never seen another copy in the flesh.


Doug E. Fresh And The Get Fresh Crew - The Show

Doug E Fresh And The Get Fresh Crew - The Show - Reality Records - 1985 

Absolutely massive record in the UK. 

The B Side La-Di-Da-Di has been Sampled, Cut up, Scratched, and lyrics stolen and repeated in many a rap record.


Lightnin Lee And Poppy P - Big Time Chillin

Lightnin Lee And Poppy P - Big Time Chillin - Cut Up Records - 1988 

Bought this in 1988 and remember it well, the shop only had one copy in stock. 

I am lucky enough to have two copies one of which has a personal hand written message from DJ Todd 1.

The B Boys - Rock The House - Cuttin Herbie

The B Boys - Rock The House - Cuttin Herbie - Vintertainment Records 1983 

Another awesome record from the B Boys. Again on this particular release I have kept in my collection both the original 1983 white and black label versions.





The B Boys - Two, Three, Break

The B Boys - Two, Three, Break - Vintertainment Records - 1983 

Such a great record, I have kept in my collection both the original 1983 presses. 

The white labeled version with the original Vintertainment logo that has the swoosh in the other direction and the lowercase letter "n" in the company logo. 

I also have the other 1983 press on the black label with the original Vintertainment logo that has the swoosh in the opposing direction and the letter "N" as a Capital in the company logo.
