专辑简介
> Release Notes: <
> Introduction: 17 years ago a small recording studio, TOP <
> SHELF, located in the basement of a brownstone in the <
> East Village section of New York, was looted during the <
> Thompkins Square riots of 1988, displacing the recordings <
> of many soon-to-be Hip Hop stars. The studio had been the <
> meeting place for many rappers, neighborhood kids, and <
> producers that would later be responsible for the <
> greatest period of the Hip Hop age, The Golden Era. A <
> search commenced soon after the recordings were lost, but <
> nothing was ever found. So sought after were the tapes, <
> they soon acheived Holy Grail status amongst Hip Hop <
> circles. Despite years of searching, and dozens of <
> hopeless crusades, the tapes remained lost. No one was <
> quite sure who took them or where they were until now. <
> <
> After an extensive investigation and search that lasted <
> two years, the recordings have finally been recovered by <
> Fab 5 Freddy and myself (Benjy Grinberg). They were found <
> dozenss of miles from the site of TOP SHELF in an <
> abandoned strage facility in North Jersey [woot! Jersey <
> represent!]. We sought after the lost recordings of TOP <
> SHELF because they were rumored to be among the hottest <
> songs from that era, and we thought it was a tragedy that <
> the world never got to hear them. It turns out that these <
> two-inch tapes are truly a treasure chest-a time capsule <
> of the energy and excitement of 1988 Hip Hop. <
