Planet Rock

As Dave Marsh notes by placing this single WAY UP at #123 in his list of the 1001 greatest 45's ever, this is an absolutely essential touchstone in the history of rap and hip-hop. Rolling Stone also includes the song in its Top 500 list, at #240. Not only is it an important single to own as part of a complete Rap/Hip-Hop collection, it's also extremely difficult to find, especially on 45 rpm and in this condition. The B side is an instrumental version. This is an edited version of the 7:30 album track. Credits include "Music by Planet Patrol." Gotta love it! Note: This copy looks Near Mint with light storage wear, but the audio has a touch of intermittent surface noise, grading a strong EX overall. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)
