	#153 (Marsh 1001)


	#240 (RS 500)

Planet Rock by Afrika Bambaataa & the Soul Sonic Force
Label: Tommy Boy 823 Year: 1982
Condition: M- $40.00

As Dave Marsh notes by placing this single WAY UP at #153 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 has Mint labels and pristine sound.
