Afrika Bambaataa & Soul Sonic Force
“Planet Rock”
12-inch re-issue
on glow-in-the-dark vinyl
(Limited edition of 1982 copies)
B-Boy anthem
from 1982 lights up any dancefloor…literally! First time ever on
glow-in-the-dark vinyl! Fresh off Bambaataa’s historic donation of his
vinyl collection to the Cornell University Hip-Hop Collection and the
Fall 2014 “Renegades of Rhythm” tour by DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist
celebrating his unparalleled contribution to hip-hop, Get On Down
celebrates the song for which the Godfather of Hip-Hop is best known:
1982’s “Planet Rock,” a Kraftwerk-meets-Bronx-B-Boy anthem. Renowned the
world over as a never-fail floor-filler, this new 12-inch pressing of
the single is pressed on glow-in-the-dark vinyl for the first time ever.
Although Bambaataa may have gotten top-billing on the release, it was a
team effort, with crucial contributions by a team including DJ Jazzy
Jay, Afrika Islam, Arthur Baker, John Robie, a Roland TR-808 drum
machine (aka Planet Patrol) and of course MCs Mr. Biggs, G.L.O.B.E. and
Pow Wow. This edition is housed in a clear, custom-embossed Get On Down
poly-bag to let the glow show through.
