New York: Island Records, Inc., 1982. 45 rpm 7" record with large center hole, printed labels, original illustrated sleeve.
Original 7" 45 for punk impresario Malcolm McLaren and hip hop recording group the World’s Famous Supreme Team’s 1982 single. Best known as the manager of the Sex Pistols, McLaren was exposed to hip hop while staying in New York in search for a support act for another of his creations, new wave band Bow Wow Wow. Recognizing the nascent influence and popularity of hip hop in the US, he teamed up with World's Famous Supreme Team and back-up Zulu singers to produce the groundbreaking track, which is known for introducing hip hop culture in the UK. Island Records catalog number 7-99941 (simultaneously issued in the UK by Charisma Records as catalog number MALC1). Sleeve designed by graphic designer, art director, and longtime McLaren collaborator Nick Egan. Record fine, some edgewear to sleeve. Very good. Item #6303
