Ahh......Irdial (in Bisto advert style). I know you're billing this as something of only personal interest but my curiosity is piqued - what was it like? Mp3 anyone? If only you hadn't broken it you could have played it for me! And on a coincidence tip did you note (I bet you did you ferret of the net and the record rack) the track on a comp in Piccadilly last week? Various Artists : Dread Meets B-Boys Downtown - Social Classics Vol. 3 (Heavenly) After inspiring punks with his reggae selection at The Roxy in London (see "Dread Meets Punk Rockers Uptown"), Don Letts hooked up with The Clash, becoming their official film biographer for the next few years. When The Clash were booked to play Bonds in Manhattan in 1981, Letts went too, eventually staying in New York until 1982, soaking up the atmosphere. This compilation catches the feeling of the early 80s emerging hip hop scene, including block party B-Boy funk classic (The Mohawks "The Champ", Babe Ruth "The Mexican", Incredible Bongo Band "Apache"), electro and its inspirations (Hashim "Al-Naafiysh", Kraftwerk "Metal On Metal", The Micronawts "Let's Smurf Across The Surf"), early turntablist and rappin' skills (Grandmaster Flash "Adventures...", Malcolm McLaren "Buffalo Gals", The Fearless Four "Rockin' It", Fab Five Freddy "Down By Law", plus exclusive Grand Wizard Theodore scratch mixes) and punk-funk crossover cuts (The Clash "Outside Broadcast"). Been meaning to check this myself as although I know most of the tracks I badly need to check those I don't. Still got mail probs so if anyone answers this and doesn't get a response from me that's why. ##################################################################################### Note: Any views or opinions are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Channel Four Television Corporation unless specifically stated.
