B-Boy Records: The Masterworks


Old school hip hop heads, you HAVE to check this out: B-Boy Records brings us the Holy Grail of hip hop box sets by compiling every 12", LP and comp that they have EVER released! You might recognize monumental groups like Boogie Down Productions, JVC Force, Cold Crush Brothers, Sparky D and Cold City Crew, but have you heard of Levi 167, The Brothers, Frozen Explosion, Money Earnin' Crew, Star Moet, Wax Master Tory, Soul Dimension, Mike Gee, and Malibu & Storm? And that's not even all of them. The set comes with a beautiful insert booklet, complete with 12" spindle scans, track listings, artwork and behind the scenes pictures of the artists and studios. The whole catalogue is archived onto four CDs, perfectly captured in 320kbps MP3 format with artwork and labels linked, and organized in folders by catalogue number (about 19 releases per disc). It's the closest thing to wishing to a genie. Highly recommended.

Box Set contains:

- The entire B-Boy Records catalogue!
- High quality 320kb MP3s archived on four (4) data CDs, over 2.5GB of audio (get track listing here)
- A 40 page booklet with never before seen photos, master reels, original cover and label art, and credits.
- Every track has art and label linked.
