yeah i got a couple of those(Malcolm x - Grass roots & MLK - funral service)don't know if they are bootlegs tho,and there's an addres on the back(Paul Winley record sales po box 1214 NY 10027) which i doubt a bootleger would put on >Last week i came across a reference to Paul Winley store in New York (the >same rundown shop as featured in David Toop's 'Rap Attack' (published way >back in the early 80's - reissued last year as 'rap attack version 3'). did not know about the reissue,i think this is one of the best music books ever about a music genre,i love Toops work in general(the early dtuff on EG,the reggae rekids with Prince Far I,and the stuff on Nato) i was very dissapointed with his 2nd book about "ambient" music(Ocean Of Sound) same goes for his work with Max Eastley on Beyond . anyway i hope Rap Atack/african jive to Ny hip hop,realy does get the respect it should get,as i'm yet to read anything so authentic as this about hip hop(not even the Fab5Freddy one) i realy think the best books about music are the ones that were done while it happened(History of House is a good example) > > >P.S.: i bought that Frankie Knuckles 'Choice' collection of his favourite >tracks, including my fave - Nick Straker Band's 'just a little bit of >jazz', check out the 1985 remix,it's even better imo(it's the b side of "It only take a minute" Touch Records 12tou22) actualy Nicks first record in (i think) 1980 "A Walk In The Park" was very "electronik" but the vocals just killed it,amazing how diffrent these 2 trax are e,r
