Here I Am/ Rapper's Delight

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy. The unremarkable A side didn't chart, but this single is sought out for its B side. The flip is a re-release of the group's first hit from 1979 (on Sugarhill 542), which is widely regarded as the first Rap single. "Rapper's Delight" uses the rhythm track from Chic's Disco hit "Good Times." (It's "Rapper's Delight" that's included on both the Dave Marsh and Rolling Stones lists.) N
