Public Enemy, Yo! Bum Rush the Show, 1987 on Def Jam

Debut studio album from Public Enemy, recorded at Spectrum City Studios and produced by Bill Stephney (of The Bomb Squad, with co-producers Carl Ryder and Hank Shocklee) with Rick Rubin credited as Executive Producer.

Still looking for a good vinyl copy of It Takes a Nation of Millions. Def Jam was distributed by CBS/Columbia (thus the Columbia on the labels).

My copy, via the Worcester Record Riot, is a 1987 Carrollton GA pressing with the BFC catalog number on the spine.

Last night at 1AM I was completely overtaken with the need to start this huge picture of Hank Shocklee and the Bomb Squad for my studio. I'm messed up today but worth it.

To pay tribute to Sinéad O’Connor, here’s one of my favorite tracks from her oeuvre: the Hank Shocklee remix of “The Emperor’s New Clothes:”
