King of Rock...

Run DMC - King of Rock (Charlie Chan Megamix)

There have recently been a few very impressive reduxe releases that have for some reason or other completely passed me by... and that's quite surprising as they're from one of the all time greats, with their all time best albums...
Of course I'm talking about Run DMC and their first 4 albums, not only have they been re-mastered but have all been wonderfully repackaged with with extra bonus cuts and great liner notes.

There's no denying the importance and the influence that Run DMC have had on popular music....
Here's just a few of the facts...

THE FIRST rap act to have a video added to MTV.
THE FIRST rap act to have a #1 R&B charting rap album
THE FIRST rap act to have a Top 10 pop charting rap album
THE FIRST rap act with a gold album
THE FIRST rap act with a platinum album
THE FIRST rap act with a multi-platinum album
THE FIRST rap act to appear on cover of Rolling Stone Magazine
THE FIRST rap act to receive a Grammy Nomination
THE FIRST rap act on Saturday Night Live and American Bandstand

Well, thems the facts, and here's another...
Run DMC were and are absolutely brilliant.

And if this Megamix doesn't whet your appetite for some more then (insert your favourite term of abuse for someone with no soul here).

I'm off to re-buy the first four incredible albums, and I'm guessing you'll be doing the same.
