Various Artists – "Street Sounds Electro 8"(Street Sounds – ELCST 8) 1985


Don't have much to say about this one, which includes slagging it off, so by elimination this must be a good one?......right?
It's,if anything, a bit Disco-Lite and his slaggo-lettes, with most of the tracks displaying a preposterous preponderance for old school Rapping, lashings of vocoder abuse,early sampler misuse,vinyll-ill treatment and DMX maltreatment with some inappropriate gated digital reverb.
It is certainly of its time,which is why we like it innit?

Tracklist:

A1 Sparky D Vs. The Playgirls– The Battle
A2 Davy DMX– The DMX Will Rock (Rap Mix)
A3 Aleem– Confusion
A4 D.E.F. & D.J. Three D – D.E.F. Momentum
B1 Marley Marl– Marley Marl Scratch
B2 The B Boys– Girls
B3 Papa Austin +The Great Peso– Wrong Girls To Play With (Dub)
B4 N.Y.C. Cutter– D.J. Cuttin
