Bounce, Rock, Skate, Roll
LP (Item 17770) Brunswick, 1980 -- Condition: Good
Massive! This is probably the best-ever album of rollerskating grooves -- and is the most famous entry into a short-lived funk genre that sprung up around the rollerskating craze of the late 70s and early 80s. The rollerskate sound took a tight stepping funk groove from earlier years, and mixed it with the extended instrumental style of club music -- creating a sound that was a mix of funk and disco that worked perfectly for skating around a track, and which had a huge influence on the beat of early hip hop. The centerpiece of the album's the massive sample track "Bounce, Rock, Skate, Roll" -- an instantly recognizable number that features tight vamping guitar and good choppy rhythms. The cut's offered up here in 2 parts -- and the rest of the record's just as great, with titles that include "Roller Skate", "We're Gonna Funk You Up", and "Thinking About You Baby". (Cover has a split bottom seam.) © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc. | ||||||
