Anyone know what the third mix is, is it just radio/extended/part 2?

Does anyone know the exact release date in '82 ?

MASTERPIECE! Funny how Manny downplays this track because it was not a "song" in the tradiontal sense. Sure, but not not everything needs to be. This is an important piece of music made at a VERY important era for dance/electronic/rap music.

When Hip Hop was called electro and was futuristic space music from the Bronx via Dusseldorf

So no one thinks this is worth commenting on? Seminal pre house early hip hop, for a lot less than it should be

The bass line sounds like Magnificent Seven by The Clash

Ed Upton's mix is smart; not trying to (impossibly) better the original, rather giving it the trademark DMX feel, in that dumbass cheap analog fashion. Bass Junkie adds a darker vibe, replaying the bass with tweaks & a touch of acid. Class remixes, perhaps the only creditable remixes of a track that really needed none...

A monumental classic of epic proportions. Precision programming and arrangement. There wasn't anything else like this at the time or since. Futuristic, tough, uncompromising and still truly rocks.

Unfortunately, the version remixed/edited exclusively for the first Street Sounds Crucial Electro album was never independently released as it would have made a fantastic addition to these original mixes and a serious contender for one of the best remixes of any release ever.

Absolut classic electro. Still love this one as much as i did in '82. A desert island disc for sure...

Excerpts from my interview with Man Parrish for Electronic Standards:

"Hip Hop Bee Bop (Don’t Stop) was recorded all analogue-synthesized. I used only three pieces: Roland 808 drum machine, my PRO One, a small version of Prophet 5 for Polyphonic and special effects, and PROPHET 1 monophonic for the bass sound and some of the sequencers.

The metallic drums were created on the Prophet 5, it was a cross-modulation system – it takes one sound and modifies another sound. You have a basic simple drum and a special effect together, which made the sound metallic, of another type. You have to combine it, change them, it’s like on a two color combination: red and blue combined can give several types of purple, you have to blend it."

Quite different from today, right? Those were the times of the real 'do it yourself'. "When you open a synthesizer and get all those pre-sets, it means somebody had to program that before you. There was no pre–set, no memories. You had to do all by yourself. Sometimes, you had to work on timbers for hours. The metallic drums took me a couple of weeks to do it. Yesterday it sounded good, today not so good. So, I had to try harder."
