We can never remember if Andre "late of Motown" Harrell was Mr. Hyde or Dr. Jeckyll. "AM-PM" has that classic old-school freestyle lyrics over heavy beats sound. Produced and cowritten by Kurtis Blow.

Number in the excellent Electro series of compilations on the UK Street Sounds imprint, a great batch of prototypical hip hop and beeping electronic funk from the days when this stuff looked like the sound of the future, and for all intents and purposes practically was! Nothing but classic early and mid 80s numbers with snapping synthesized production, this volume features 9 numbers in all, including "It's Time To Rock" by Great Peso & Mr Nasty, "Fast Life" by Dr Jeckyll & Mr Hyde, "Techno Scratch" by the Knights of the Turntables, "Egypt, Egypt" by the Egyptian Lover, "Breakers Revenge" by Arthur Baker, "Captain Rock To The Future Shock" by Captain Rock, "Release Yourself" by Aleem, "The Buck Stops Here" by Fantasy Three, and "B Boys Breakdance" by the High Fidelity Three.

First volume in this series from WBLS jock Mr Magic. All the big early Profile hits from 1981-84, 12 tracks in all: Word of Mouth "King Kut", with the Profile big beat sound, Disco 4 " We're At The Party", Pebblee-Poo "A Fly Guy" (an answer to the Boogie Boys "Fly Girl"), Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde "Genius Rap" and "AM/PM" – their best cut by far, Fresh 3 MC's "Fresh", Run-DMC "Jam Master Jammin' (rmx)" and "King Of Rock", Masterdon Committee "Funkbox 2", Rock Master Scott & The Dynamic 3 "It's Life (You Gotta Think Twice)", Spyder D "Buckwheat's Beat", and Dana Dane "Nightmares".
