Three CD release. This set comes from one of the most consistently interesting underground independent labels in both Dance Music and Hip-Hop/Rap history - Fresh Records from New York. The label was founded in 1985 as a sister label to Sleeping Bag but with more emphasis on the rapidly emerging Hip-Hop and Rap audiences as well as some cutting edge Dance grooves. They set the template with four blistering releases from electro-dancefloor duo Hanson & Davis, old-skool rapper T.L.A. Rock, the ultra-menacing gangsta rapper Just Ice and the Mantronix produced 12:41. The label continued to release some huge cutting-edge dancefloor smashes with The Todd Terry Project which exploded internationally with "Bango", "Back To The Beat", "Weekend" and "Just Wanna Dance" before the label went on to find mainstream U.S. chart successes with Hip-Hop acts EPMD, Nice & Smooth and Stezo. Fresh Records ruled the roost between 1985 and 1992 when parent label Sleeping Bag eventually floundered. Once again this is an essential package for anyone who wants to re-experience the culture of the New York Dance and Hip-Hop scenes from the mid 1980s to the early 90s. Fresh Records were truly ahead of the pack and produced records which were exactly as described on the label! This package is full of lovingly re-mastered original 12" mixes. These include many tracks which have never made it to CD before and you can be sure that a variety of 'secret weapons' are included! All notes and scans included in a 16 page color booklet which fits beautifully within the superior digipak.
