Fun House Disco Ad From 1983 - Run-DMC, Kurtis Blow, New Edition

Fun House Ad (1983) -

Friday night, May the 20th at the Fun House Disco, on 26th Street between 10th and 11th Avenues in New York City, It's the funk, the pump... a reggae party starring Kurtis Blow, Visual, Sweet G, Stargaze, Warp 9, and Run-DMC, along with special guest performances by the "Planet Rock" performer, "Candy Girl" guys and a surprise "Pass the Dutchie" performance. Remember this date - Friday, May 20th at the Fun House Disco.

This sounds like a memorable show at the legendary Funhouse venue. Mr. Magic is the voice on the ad. What's up with the references to Afrika Bambaataa, New Edition and Musical Youth without saying their actual stage names?? The Planet Rock performer? The Candy Girl guys? Anybody know what the deal is with that?

... huh.

That's not "huh" with a question mark, it's just a "huh."

Kinda posting on the fly today. However, I figured I'd share this, as I just picked it up in New Hampshire with that MC Breeze 12". Dub Mix was done by Afrika Bambaataa ("the peacemaker") according to the label, so that's pretty cool. Is that him talking off and on? Sounds like him. Well, it's no One For The Treble, but it's interesting to hear. This post isn't about me rambling and dropping much science... I'm pretty ignorant to this track, so I'll shut up. Freddy Fresh's The Rap Records Book (2nd Edition) says that there's a live kick drum layered over the TR808 kick to beef it up. Okay, so there's my tidbit. Well, his. Damn.
