Story
By 1987, the landscape of hip-hop was shifting from the park jams of the Bronx to the global charts, and Grandmaster Flash was fighting to maintain his crown as the genre's premier innovator.
Maker / Origin
Joseph Saddler, known as Grandmaster Flash, is one of the 'Holy Trinity' of hip-hop founders alongside DJ Kool Herc and Afrika Bambaataa.
Condition & Value
The sleeve shows significant ring wear and edge scuffing, which is typical for a record that was used by a DJ or frequently played. There is a visible 'ding' on the top left corner and some creasing near the edges. The presence of the original hype sticker is a major plus for collectors.
