If you've been anywhere near the shop when the previous Boombox comps came out then you know we absolutely adore this Soul Jazz series.

This new iteration takes on the weirder parts of the early era when Hip Hop was still working out it's boundaries & getting some dazzling results from its experiments.

This Soul Jazz Records collection celebrates these first old-school rap records, bringing together rare, classic and obscure tracks released in the early days of rap. the third instalment of the excellent boombox series features some of the many innovative underground first-wave of early rap and disco rap records made in the USA in the period 1979-83. The album includes the first releases of seminal groups such as Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five and The Funky Four Plus One More through to a host of rarities and little-known obscurities such as the Carver Area High School band’s ‘Get Live 83’, an awesome record made at a Chicago high school.
