Okay, first up, we usually pride ourselves on our restoration results but from the jump, the quality of this classic Summer 87 recording sucked butt through a long straw; Distortion, crappy reception etc. Listen, when we was kids, having these treasures was like holdin somethin golden, so if ya can stomach this kinda thing, it is what it is. I tried restoring the sound but it was like polishing a tiny tape turd.
The ads for The Wiz are a time capsule on their own, the ‘OMG I Think Im Having a Rap Attack’ jingles will give you goosebumps, and Marley plays World Premieres of Roxanne Shante – Have a Nice Day and Fat Boys – Rock Ruling. A concert/ event on June 15th is mentioned at some point in the show so this is from some point before then.
Nerd note: I knew they were friendly enough rivals with the disses they produced and played on air, but I didn’t realise things got this trivial between Red and Marley. Oddly, Marley drops Red Alerts name outta the Kid N Play Last Night track…
[Last Night] I was on the phone
My girl was tellin’ me she was all alone
So I asked her if she was down to go
To Union Square, check out the show
She said OK she’d never seen Red spin
