I have been looking for this record for more than ten years now and finally today June 2nd I got my miracle, when I first heard it on an old Afrika Islam ZULU BEATS Radio mix show (Which is one of the cassette-MP3 tapes featured in my live tapes blast as a previous offering) I thought It was an ultra funky electro cut, and always wondered the name of this record. My mentor years ago after playing it for him over the phone; told me it was called "Creature feature". But to my surprise when I looked up on Gemm.com years ago for vinyl before I was collecting MP3's I realized Creature Feature was actually a Spyder D Record, so he was a little off, but not intentionally. The lyrics mentions "Creature feature"in it but that was not the title apparently. So for years would just play the portion of the classic Zulu beats tape listening to the Tape like quality of Islam cutting it up. Wishing upon a star one day I'de obtain an actual copy for myself. Anyway one day few years back, I finally tried to cheat and use Shazam, and it wouldn't find the song for me. Its engine kept coming up with unsearchable results, (I was mered with the Idea that this song was gonna be a problem to ever find, and it was) until today after listening to it again, while just writing entries online on facebook, a voice said, said "yo take a shot and look for it again". I shazamed it and behold, it finally came up registering a title and name. I was excited; I then googled it and of course with my digital digging prowess, I found a perfect nice Hi quality copy to download. This is one of my most prized finds, it seems in the past 5 years I have found hundreds of once hard to find records I've always wanted. Definitely a real dope New Wave-Electro Synth-Pop classic straight from 1982 by Kevin Mooney, in the midst of experimental Rock-Pop and Electro hybridization.
As always I love sharing hard to finds, this should be a crime because DJ's don't usually do this. This joint is a SUPER RARITY. With that said enjoy fellow DJ's & Old school heads. All of you brothers who might of been searching and seeking after this, I have just liberated you
Btw as an Added bonus, since I'm such a nice guy, I've added this record into a bin of some other really nice classic Break beats and Electro Jams which I will be using on an upcoming B-boy Mix tape sometime soon, so with this you get a bunch of other Break beat and Hip Hop hard-hitters. Sharing is caring. But you gotta visit my Box.net account through this link to see whats in there. Again enjoy
