If this came out of LA it would be a techno classic, this was a game changing bomb on the same level with Hashim and Egyptian Lover.- Edited one year ago''TEST PRESSING'' Original from Artist Label (Included photo glossy of artist(s) -->> MSI = Music Specialist, Inc.-->> Please Click On Image Link -->>

Pretty Tony (who never gets the real originator kudos he deserves) shows just how a vocoder vox should rock on an electro track and personally, this is the one song that makes me move the end point of the golden age of electro to the year 1985.
Classic classic classic! Sampled by many a Florida breakbeat record. Often imitated, but never duplicated.referencing Don't Stop The Rock (12", 33 ⅓ RPM) MSI-111
Holy ****!!! This is from '85? Unbelievable. I heard it on the Chemical Brothers' mix CD in '98. I always thought Freestyle was the same as The Freestylers. Little did I know.
Of all the versions I've heard I think the 1989 Pandisc cut is the nicest...
