On Wax: RUN-D.M.C. debut reissued

I had the pleasure of speaking to DMC at length last year, discussing the genesis of his comic book world (read some of that over at Bonafide). The whole time I was sat next to him I couldn’t shake that giddy feeling of being in the presence of an absolute legend – man had a glow. An antidote to the generic disco rap of the time and a balls-out embracement of rock’n’roll, the tag-team of Run and DMC backed by the legendary JMJ was a unique formula whose resonance will echo long after we’re all ashes.

The group’s debut, self-titled album has been re-released on vinyl, and is available from Get On Down.
