it's a live tape of Bambaataa cutting up and juggling breaks from
'83. It's rough as f*ck in terms of both production (typical cruddy
Paul Winley pressing) and skills, but it has mad energy and can lay a
pretty strong claim to being the blueprint for b-boy mixtapes.
The actual tracklisting is the stuff of legend. A lot of the breaks
have now been dug up and identified (e.g. Jackson Sisters), but for
ages a lot of people were scratching their heads about this one.
It was also the inspiration for Q-Bert's Camel Bobsled Race (his beat
juggle and cut up of DJ Shadow tracks) which is frankly mind boggling.
I've got a copy at here I might be able to make available....
