Notes

500 copies of this first edition were reportedly pressed.

"Test Pressing" is printed on "Side 2" label.

Neither the artists' names nor the track title appear on the labels.

On some copies, the labels were erroneously affixed to the opposite side of the audio.

This version can be differentiated from the two standard vinyl subsequent 45 RPM editions by the runout groove etchings and by the a 2.8" pressing ring that encircles the labels.

There is also another reissue version with similar runout groove etchings that plays at 33 ⅓ RPM.

Matrix / Runout (A-side runout etching): TT-001-B-E-1

Short intro

Beat Bop is a single by American hip-hop artists Rammellzee and K-Rob, originally released in 1983 by record label Tartown. It was initially distributed merely as a test pressing. Its cover was designed by New York City graffiti artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. The result of a disagreement between Rammellzee and Basquiat, the track has been cited as having an influence on artists such as Beastie Boys and many hip hop artists due to its chaotic, abstract sound. 2 - The Rammellzee.

Contact me if you are interested in the record box from Basquiat ;)

Froststalker

Hi there, quick one: is it on purpose that the etching are noted as reversed, i.e.: etching B-E-1 onside A? Is this a proof of an authentic 1983 version?Thanks (in case I find an original at a price I can afford one day...)

Tehn

People, the Tartown label was a brilliant one off idea for a label name by J. Basquiat who funded the record and pressing. The label did not exist after the first pressing of this record. Later Tartown pressing are unquestionably unofficial fakes. That's why they attempt to look identical. Go for the Get on down pressing which is official, has good retro cover art, and will have the best sound since originals are $$$. RIP Rammellzee and Jean-Michael Basquiat.

Granigrinn

Hello,How can I know if it's an original from 1983 or a reissue ? Thanks for your help.Manuel.

Buzatus

The 2001plays at 33rpm, but it says 45rpm on the label. But there are exceptions.

Boraston

The cover art is done by Basquiat / SAMO ????

Kirizan

HI does someone have pictures of a genuine orginal Rammellzee Beat Bop. I can buy one but need some extra info about the thickness of the sleeve, inside of the cardboard and labels etc. Please help.

See the description: "The original version can be differentiated from the two standard vinyl subsequent 45 RPM editions by the runout groove etchings and by the a 2.8" pressing ring that encircles the labels."

Haralem

You need to hear the instrumental on a high-end system that can deliver a deep, clear and warm soundstage with focused highs, mids and a tight bottom in order to hear and appreciate the guitar, strings and sprinkles in this production. The instrumental has more musical and crossover club appeal than the vocal, and sounds better slightly pitched up for a touch more "pace". If you know how to play downtempo club/funk music, there are a number of other classics you can follow this up with.

Pumpit

Eight grand +,is this some sort of bad joke?,do you get a fee kidney with it.

Dddasuk

It's very rare and collectable, that's why. Only a handful of OG copies.

unmasked

does anyone really know about the rotation speed it should have ? Thanx

santa

45rpm - take it from someone who was there back in the day.

Onaxan

yes the original pressing of this plays at 45 rpm

fabscf

I used to hate this track back in the day because it was so slow compared to the electro of the time. Time has made me see the error of my ways though and I've grown to love it.http://hiphopbebop.com/2016/01/rammellzee-vs-k-rob-beat-bop.html

Samut

What's the custom artwork all about? Did he draw on them?

Gann

In the hiphop community this is claimed to be the first hiphop record ever made. It is why it is so desired. The records with lyricists from that same period of time and before fall under the catagory 'Rap'.

Dont_Wory

Tartown Records was Basquiat's label! He made friends with rappers whilst he was in LA and I believe they all sort of worked on this together. Basquiat was on the cutting edge of music and art (street art!! a huge aspect of the culture of hip-hop) in New York. It's unsurprising then that Basquiat had a large part to play in the production of this record.NOTE: Beat - Bop was a play on the term "Bebop jazz" coined(?) by Charlie Parker, who was a massive influence on Basquiat.

Carrot

The artwork is done by famous painter Basquiat who passed away during the 80s. This artwork is famous and was recently repressed on limited edition vinyl box. If the record is rare, you can see you get a limited edition painting done by Basquiat. Anything with his name attached will increase price value.

Scream_I LOVE YOU

Jean Michel Basquiat did the artwork. That's what initially made it a collector's item. Interesting story about this in Ego Trip's Big Book of Rap Lists.

Original has RAMMELLZEE VS. K-ROB "BEAT BOP" 12" (TARTOWN RECORD CO. TT-001-A-E-1 etched in matrix for side 1 and TT-001-B-E-1 etched in matrix of side 2).

AfinaS

but the other reissue has the same matrix - so how can tell the difference if someone buys it on the internet and cannot test play it?

Shan

Hi there, my copy plays at 33rpm. All the rest is same as original. Any guess?

Voodoozragore

Thanks Fred....you saved the day with this info. The seller was insistent it was an original and it also played at 45 RPM but the codes were TT001 A and TT001 B there are clearly a few undated bootleg copies around and it would have been a fairly expensive mistake to make.

kinder

pretty sure originals play at 45 RPM

Karon

Thanks Fred. Think in the listings it says some of the reissues (undated) play at 45 aswell. Tricky.

Modimeena

Does anyone know what the Matrix code should be on an original press please? Help much appreciated!

ACOS

You must see the deepgroove

Xor

How can you tell an original Tartown pressing?

Tolrajas

Joony

Also the sleeve is a heavy stock. The rereleases are as thick.

NI_Rak

The color inside the sleeve on the original press is like a cardboard brown color. On the tar town boot and rerelease the inside of the sleeve is white.

Whitestone

Have you figured out how to tell if a record is an original tartown pressing? I'm also curious.

Monam

i remeber this comming out in the early hip hop days ... it was ahead of its self then

TheFresh
