Composer Arthur Baker played a crucial role in hip-hop history when he produced Afrika Bambaataa's landmark "Planet Rock" (as listed here) in 1982, pioneering the use of electronic instruments in hip-hop and thus creating electro. After "Planet Rock", Arthur Baker began remixing or producing every major artist from New Order to the Rolling Stones, Al Green to the Pet Shop Boys.
This vinyl release from Soul Jazz Records is presented as a deluxe double vinyl in a fold-out cover. The edition is complete with a foreword by Arthur Baker, extensive notes including a track-by-track breakdown by hip-hop historian Jay Quan, and striking images from photographer Sophie Brumley.
