It has also been expanded to include mid 90s labels, an updated section on British and foreign labels, and a how-to to distinguish between original pressings and bootlegs and reissues. Also included are interviews with collectors and eBay sellers from Japan, England, and Germany.

Born In The Bronx (hardback book) A Visual Record of the Early Days of Hip Hop £24.99 Add to basket
For years there was nothing: a handful of amateur snapshots had been culled together for books like Rap Attack, Yes Yes Y'All and Steven Hager's Hip Hop. Back In The Days, Jamal Shabazz' tome, made a huge and well deserved splash, but we are talking early-mid '80s. Where were the photos of the 'old' old school? They were at Joe Conzo's house. Joe Conzo was the official snapper for the Cold Crush Brothers, and an aspiring documentary photographer, who shot a lot of hip-hop shows circa 1979-1981. Then Joe was hit hard by life, became a junkie and homeless. He cleaned up in 1990 and became an Emergency Paramedic, driving an ambulance in the very Bronx neighbourhoods that he'd spent years down and out in. He's now active in his Union, and in Narcotics Anonymous. Joe's Eye is fantastic: the drama and dynamics of early hip-hop are captures in his photographs, a small selection of which are shown below. FACT teamed up with Johan Kugelberg and Freewheelin' Media to produce a show entitled Born In The Bronx, wherein a larger selection of original photos and handmade flyers were shown. |

Public Access Ricky Powell Photograph 1985 - 2005 hardback book £19.99 Add to basket
"Ricky Powell, aka the Rickster, has seen a lot of history. He has worked variously as a busboy, bike messenger, Frozade vender, substitute teacher, columnist, cable television host, comic, and dog walker. But he is best known as a wisecracking, self-described "playground rat" who used his beat-up Minolta and party-crashing skills to become a nightlife fixture and a chronicler of the then-exploding world of hip hop." The New York Times For two decades, Ricky Powell has prowled the streets of his native New York, toured the world with hip hop's biggest acts, and full-on crashed celebrity-studded parties on both coasts. Equipped with only his wits and an instamatic camera, Powell elbowed his way into the center of the scene with no shame. "It's for public access," Powell could be heard, pleading for an interview with a pizza shop owner on his cult cable TV show, "Rappin' with the Rickster." Powell knows access is everything, and he delivers. In Public Access: Ricky Powell Photographs 19852005, Powell presents the actors, musicians, performers, and artists that inspired him, including Run-DMC, Public Enemy, Eric B. and Rakim, Slick Rick, Biz Markie, Eazy E, Method Man, LL Cool J, Fab 5 Freddy, Steven Tyler, Nina Hagen, John Sex, John Lee Hooker, LeRoy Neiman, Martha Graham, Elizabeth Taylor, Paloma Picasso, Calvin Klein, Barbara Walters, Grace Jones, Francis Ford Coppola, Sofia Coppola, Debi Mazar, Cindy Crawford, Elvira, Dondi, Doze, Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Andy Warhol, among many others. Also presented in Public Access are Powell's never-before-published collaborations with top artists, graffiti writers, and photographers including Ron Galella, Ron English, Phil Frost, Lee Quinones, Sam Flores, David Choe, Dalek, DR. REVOLT, ZEPHYR, QUIK, TEAM, DAZE, SEEN, KAWS, JEST, BIGFOOT, SSUR, and HAZE, among others. |

Extensive biographies, recommended albums, and hundreds of photos tell Hip-Hop's story. Plus there are boxes on Hip-Hop's fashions, films, feuds and fads, along side topics like Hip-Hop's slang and sub-genres. |

Wax Poetics Anthology Vol. 1 Hard Back Book (Wax Poetics) £27.99 Add to basket
Anthologies are uneven by nature, and in the case of the first Wax Poetics collection, it's especially understandable. Wax Poetics Anthology: Volume 1 collects 31 pieces from the first five issues of the well-loved Brooklyn-based music fanzine, which is devoted to funk, soul, hip-hop, jazz, Latin, and other DJ-beloved styles. Still, the fandom driving the magazine is infectious, and the best pieces are simply essential. Andrew Mason wisely presents his interview with hip-hop producer Prince Paul in as-told-to first-person, and Paul's clear-eyed reminiscences jump off the page. Equally entertaining are the Q&As with former James Brown bassist Sweet Charles Sherrell (capped with a wild tale of the sideman hijacking the Godfather Of Soul's equipment) and pioneering graffiti artist Tracy 168, plus a gripping roundtable on the 1983 graffiti documentary Style Wars, with directors Henry Chalfant and Tony Silver. Still, a large part of Anthology's draw, as with Wax Poetics the magazine, is how gorgeous it looks: Many pieces come with lovingly reproduced album covers and 45 labels, arrayed neatly like so much record-collector porn. Even for those who don't particularly care about obscure Texas funk entrepreneurs like Timothy McNealy, who gets a brief Q&A here, the Wax Poetics crew take such care in presenting them alongside the bigger names that it's easy to get drawn in. |
