*** UP FOR AUCTION, WE HAVE A HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER TEST-PRESS ONLY 12" BY AFRIKA BAMBAATAA & SOULSONIC FORCE. THE RECORD (WHICH WAS NEVER OFFICIALLY RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC, MAKING IT ONE OF THE SCARCEST OF ALL TOMMY BOY SINGLES) WAS MADE IN '85 AND THEREFORE HAS A DRUM-MACHINE, POST-ELECTRO SOUND THAT WAS APPROPRIATE FOR THE TIME. BOTH SIDES FEATURE THE LEGENDARY MELLE MEL WITH THE EQUALLY LEGENDARY BUSY BEE JOINING THE FESTIVITIES ON THE B-SIDE. IKEY CEE IS IN THE MIX AS WELL... IT'S BASICALLY A HIGH-SPIRITED THROWDOWN WITH MEMBERS OF SOULSONIC (MR. BIGGS, POW WOW, MASTER ICE FROM THE JAZZY 5) AND THE AFOREMENTIONED MELLE MEL AND BUSY BEE TRADING VERSES WITH THE SORT OF BRAVADO YOU WOULD NATURALLY EXPECT... SOME WELL-TIMED CUTS AND TRIGGERED SAMPLES FOR PUNCTUATION AND THERE YOU HAVE IT...
(YES, A FEW COPIES OF THIS RECORD HAVE SURFACED AS OF LATE BRINGING THE GRAND TOTAL OF COPIES SOLD IN THE MODERN ERA TO 3 OR 4... BUT COLLECTORS AND OLD-SCHOOL COMPLETISTS SHOULD TAKE HEART; THIS RECORD IS DEFINITELY RARE AND THERE WON'T BE TOO MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO GRAB IT AGAIN... ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, THE RESERVE ON THIS AUCTION IS MORE THAN FAIR.)
