@Defiance Thanks for this. I still have a very played battered original UK pressing of this. Played it to death on a crappy cheap 80s Matsui music centre with the plastic needles. Put it this way...I won't be able to sell it on Discogs.

It set the scene and there was a breakout of LL-soundalikes with that stripped Rick Rubin drum machine street sound. Along with Run D.M.C. it was goodbye to the Yes Yes Y'all Chic sampling party raps and hello to the Sound of Black America...and eventually the World.

Game changer
