{"product_id":"wildstyle-soundtrack-exclusive-limited-blue-vinyl-lp","title":"Wildstyle Soundtrack: Exclusive Limited Blue Vinyl LP { vinyl }","description":"\u003cp\u003eAnimal Records – founded by Chris Stein of Blondie fame – only ever released two albums in its brief early-80s history. Wild Style remains the most seminal soundtrack in hip-hop history, a snapshot of the scene as it evolved from the streets to the recording studio. But it’s not just a vital document, it’s also a damn good listen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe line-up is a who’s who of those who stood out from hip-hop’s nascent block party days. The Double Trouble pairing of Rodney Cee and KK Rockwell, The Chief Rocker himself, Busy Bee, the mighty line-ups of both The Cold Crush Brothers and The Fantastic Freaks. The music captures the free-form, roaming nature of the film – it’s rough at the edges, but it’s completely, utterly glorious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Animal tracklisting, of which this is a reissue, is full of recurring sounds and motifs, all of them co-produced by Chris Stein and Fab Five Freddy, stepping away from breakbeats to produce a sound that reminds you of them, while being totally unique. The epic drums are courtesy of Lenny ‘Ferrari’ Ferraro, a Vietnam vet and punk drummer whose career spanned stints backing Aretha Franklin and Lou Reed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOver time, those sounds – the Charlie Chase and Grand Wizard Theodore scratches, the indelible lyrics - have become hip-hop touchstones, endlessly sampled and referenced, the bedrock of so much music to follow. That’s because the soundtrack perfectly encapsulated the essence of the film, the scene and hip-hop’s emergence from The Bronx to the attention of the wider world. Presented in this reissue with the original artwork, it remains the blueprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Various Artists","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57431002579275,"sku":"MRBLP247HH","price":3.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/6169\/9915\/files\/SharedImage-135840.png?v=1779695919","url":"https:\/\/vinylvintage.shop\/products\/wildstyle-soundtrack-exclusive-limited-blue-vinyl-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
