Afrika Bambaataa - Death Mix 3

Juxtaposing classic breaks, funk and disco with random rap & old school, a unique perspective on a key period in music: 1974-1989. Paul Winley Records is one of the great unsung labels, considering how important it is in Hip Hop history- the "Super Disco Breaks" series (six volumes) are/were essential crate fillers for any DJ in the 80s through to the 90s. Now fetching loot on eBay, his "Death Mix" by Afrika Bambaataa is a holy grail among vinyl collectors, and his back catalogue of gospel and soul just add cred to his legendary status.

This collection is primarily about the just-unearthed "Death Mix 2", but fleshed out with Winley Catalogue key cuts: Cymande "Sweet Talk" and "It's Magic", Ann Winley "Remember Me and the Good Times", Master Don Committee "Funk Box Party", Rap Dynasty "Street Rock", Tanya & Paulette Winley "I Believe in the Wheel of Fortune", Osibisa "Oranges", and Martin Disco Band "Disco Circus".
