Description

[Machine Translation] Everything you need to know about the label that brought you the hip-hop classic "Change The Beat"! A compilation of the cutting edge of New York in the 80's! Celluloid Records was run by bassists Bill Laswell and Jean Georgakarakos, who famously produced Herbie Hancock's masterpiece "Future Shock" with their band Material. The album is a collection of songs with the famous phrase, "Ahhhhh! The Beat" by Fab 5 Freddy Change, a.k.a. "Chambi," and "Wildstyle" by Afrika Bambaataa's Timezone unit, which featured breakdancers in a frenzied frenzy. The label has produced some of the most important songs of the early days of hip-hop. Grandmicer D.ST, who scratched on "Herbie Hancock Rock It," and Futura 2000, known as a charismatic figure in the graffiti world, have also released excellent singles on the label, and the label is also home to a wide range of music, not only hip-hop, but also new wave, electro, post-punk, and punk. Celluloid's discography is not only hip-hop, but also new wave, electro, post-punk, African, etc., reflecting the New York underground 80's music scene of the 1960s. This is the world's first definitive compilation of Celluloid's history, and includes rare photos from that period and interviews with people involved (Bill Laswell, Afrika Bambaataa, etc.).
Note: This is an import edition (manufactured outside of Japan).
