Yeah, I have that 1st Sugarhill rap lp from '79 and it says it is w/the
full crew who later became the On-U Sound house band (Wimbish, le Blanc,
you can even see Wimbish (I guess) on the inside photo)
My related question is: I just got this 12" of "2 Fly" produced by
Grand.Flash and on the Out____ Music Co____ (I forget, but eerily similar
to "Outward Music Company"). ...So, does anyone know who 2-Fly is? It is
from '81-'82 I think... sorry for the spotty memory...
