│release notes.
First LP with Hip Hop in Sweden... slept on LP.
PER CUSSION 1983 was a busy year that besides Stop showed two
albums of interest. The first of them was the project Per Cussion
all stars featuring jazzfusion artist Per Tjernberg and US born
Grandmaster funk (later shortened to GM funk) as the two leading
characters. Grandmaster funk (Michael White), had moved from
Brooklyn in New York to Stockholm where he became a breakdancer in
the early 80s and was a key figure bringing break dance to Sweden.
They released their first 12" "Don't stop" in 1983, which was the
first rap ever recorded in Per Cussion all starsSweden. The track,
and a video of it, received huge attention in Sweden and some
concern outside as well. It was for example listed as "recommended"
in the Dance/Disco column in Billboard. One especially flattering
story for Per Tjernberg was when Africa Bambaata, that he
considered the high priest of hip hop, asked him if he could spare
some copies of the 12" since he had worn his out when DJ-ing! It
was released on several obscure labels like Virgin Greece and ultra
rare Black market. The latter reported the pretty impressive 15 000
copies sold, before going out of business. The 12" was followed up
by an album with the same name in June that year. The final result
was a well arranged and produced mix of funk and rap that besides
"Don't stop" included the essential and steaming hot funk bomb "The
warning". The album is considered as the first rap album in Sweden
and a very rare piece of old school rap in any collectors' dungeon.
A good news also is that the original Swedish label Silence
recently have reissued "the best" of Per Cussion all stars
including the whole first album and the best of the following album
"Beatwave" in 1984 besides a few really rare 12" versions and GM
funk's one and only 12" under that name called "Snowblind". This
rare CD is a highly recommended and will soon be out of print!
