RIP OF THE WEEK VOL 04. I Marc 4







I can't say that I have a original pressing of this record and I am not sure what type of original format even exists? This
compilation called The psych jazzy beat of I MARC 4 is about all I have been able to find other than a reissue of there first album I Solisti Di Armando Trovajoli. The song Distortion Mind is from a 1970's Italian TV series Il Segno del Comando (The sign of Command) which I first heard from the sample used in Fat Joe's Safe to Say (Da incredible) produced by Just Blaze. Nice one...

RIP OF THE WEEK . VOL 03. Barry De Vorzon



This record is from the movie soundtrack R.P.M. produced by Barry De Vorzon. I searched for months for a original copy of this record and I never really knew too much about Barry De Vorzon. I only knew I wanted the song "The Riot" off this soundtrack which is basically 2:45 minutes of drums. As it turns out Barry De Vorzon also produced the theme to one of my favorite movies The Warriors, the theme to Young and the Restless, and all sorts of other randomly awsome soundtracks... who knew?

This track produced by the Bronx Dogs uses the drum break from The Riot someplace in this monster of a track and is also remixed by DJ Harvey.

RIP OF THE WEEK . VOL 02 . James Gilstrap







I came across this James Gilstrap record today and it caught my attention by the creepy cover, I then remembered it had been sampled by Big L with his classic song Flamboyant which was released in 2000. Big L was shot right around the time the album was released and I can't think of a better rap song that has come out since then. Hip hop music took a drastic change in sound, production and the way I felt about it right around the same time... R.I.P

RIP OF THE WEEK . VOL01 . Johnny Jenkins





I have been after this record for a long time and I managed to find a clean original pressing at Jive Time Records last night for $10. The drum break is ridiculous and you may recognize the sample used by Beck for his hit song loser.
