Soul Jazz Records presents - BOOMBOX 1; Early Independent Hip Hop, Electro, and Disco Rap 1979-82 3LP

This first exuberant wave of innocent, upbeat,'party on the block' rap records were the first to try and create the sounds heard in community centers, block parties and street jams that initially took place in the Bronx in the mid'1970s. But where Flash, Kool Herc and Bambaataa were back'spinning, mixing and scratching together now classic breakbeat records like The Incredible Bongo Band's 'Apache' or Babe Ruth's 'The Mexican', these first rap records were all made using live bands, often replaying then current disco tunes, whilst MCs rapped over the top, creating a unique sound that later became known derisively as 'oldschool'.
