My neighborhood friends and I learned how to breakdance to this when it came out. I supplied the cassette, someone else supplied the boombox, and another kid found a big slab of cardboard to practice our moves on. Great times! -
This track is awesome! Very 80’s music with futuristic sound ahead of its time. DST made the scratching like the highlight of this music.
This is a classic shit! -

This was my first-ever 12" (bought upon release in 1983). Was initially disappointed it wasn't more than the regular LP version. I did not immediately appreciate the well-spaced grooves which allow that fantastic beat and expert turntablism to breathe at full strength (through a system which is up to it). Have always wondered if the 45RPM pressings are even better in this regard.
One of many musical purchases of the times which the folks were at a complete & utter loss to comprehend. And if that's not a tribute to Herbie's pioneering creative spirit, what is? Sounds as cool today as it always has.
