An amazing reference for any fan of rare disco — the first-ever book to look at the rare
acetates, bootlegs, and medley vinyl from the 70s and 80s. Comes with full color images
throughout, and a lot of information on each title, plus detailed additional features on the
labels, mixers, and other folks involved with the phenomenon! There’s also a section on
rare club flyers. Over 350 full-color pages, printed on heavy paper. Expensive, but well
worth it!
A few of my personal faves:
B Boy Anthems!!
BBP was heavily influenced by these two pieces in particular.
Covering up the labels with masking tape… the realness!!
Whut!? Skinny Lizzy (Thin Lizzy) on Dirt Bag Records??
Disco breaks galore on this monter..

IT’S BETTER IN THE BAHAMAS..
2008-04-24
Spring has finally arrived here in NYC!!
It was too nice out, I had to leave my smokey, dusty room and make my rounds to the
thrift shops out in Queens. Some dopeness I scored..
a nice version of “One Monkey Don’t Stop No Show” (a Red Alert classic!!) + random
breaks 45s, all for the nice price of $1.75!! But the highlight of the day was..
A 12″ of “Funky Nassau” by Ray Munnings, one half of the Munnings Bros. who was the
core of the group Beginning of the End. I hadn’t dropped the needle on this gem for a
few years, so I check it out and it’s ridiculously amazing!! Even the B-side is a bonafide
killer. And to top it all off, it’s autographed by Mr. Munnings himself with the message
that reads “It’s Better In the Bahamas”.
Also found a used SP-1200 at JUNK in Williamsburg
but the price was not a “junk” price.. Speaking of SP, Pete Rock’s new album was a
disappointment and far from its title, “NY’s Finest”..
Shopping for dinner at a Korean supermarket in Flushing
Got this random knock off T-shirt at WEST. Thank you Lester and WEST crew. They are going to be a bonafide BBP dealer fromnext month. Check them out if you are in the area!

Some random pics from the Japan trip and NYC
First of all, big up to Chairman Mao for the write-up on the “52 Beats” CD!!
Had lots of Japanese delicacies like Blowfish sashimi,
and live Shrimp, Ginsu style..
these strawberries called “Amaoh” (King of Sweetness) costs about $1 a pop but well worth the ¥!!
The Black/Gold (The Official BBP color) Trio Connection @ BBPJP office.
NO DOUBT!! Speaking of vinyl, DJ Muro is playing tomorrow night (9-11 p.m.) @ the Brooklyn
Museum for the opening of Takashi Murakami exhibit.
Came across this “5 Borough” Candy in SoHo.
A gift from GGK the Man. A cassette “tape” dispenser, whut!?
Found this new wave/rap (?) 12″ circa 1981 titled “Jap Rap”. Could it be the first-ever Jap. rap on wax??
Tonight’s the Night like Betty Wright, @ The Delancey featuring photobooths by Ricky Powell & Toofly.
Hosted by none other than the SHQ “hentai” sisters!!
Shokotan says “May the Funk Be With You” and I’m Audi 5000.

BACK IN JP Pt. 1
2008-03-14
The BX team is back in the motherland for our Summer 2008 exhibit.
In addition, Zunbug is shooting a music video for a Japanese explosive
Jazz band, Soil & “Pimp” Sessions. They are internationally known
since DJ Giles Peterson introduced the group on his radio program
“WorldWide”.
On the way to the video shoot, GGK got busy on the wheels of steel.

support you.”
