WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
AFRIKA BAMBAATAA: ‘Death Mix’ (US Paul Winley Records 12×33-10)
Very murky “live” recorded undynamic c.99bpm 12in rap by un-named poppin’ MCs over Afrika’s cutting and mixing, sounding as if from a bootleg cassette — especially as his official newie is due now.
