Reviews

Watch out, I think there's a bootleg / "replica" out there. Mine has decent sound on the a-side, but the b-side sounds terrible. Very much quieter than the a-side and when you boost the gain to match, there's almost no bass to speak of. Buyer beware.

Edited 7 years agoFor all the undeniable attention that 'Rockit' got for its wider influence on popular music and music videos, music lovers would equally have been glad of the inclusion of the tracks on the B side. Two of Herbie's Disco masterpieces included with a future Electro classic. What more could you want? -
Edited 20 years agoClassic funky hip hop tune made way back in 1983 by Herbie Hancock, the jazz keyboard master. Funkier than a dog licking his own bone, this starts on a scratch you just can't bitch and keeps dropping bombs all the way through.
The production is excellent, really tight, breaks a-plenty, which build up and up until you have to freak out or burst.
Think about it, this was made back in 1983 with only a handfull of 'modern' gizmos, yet you could play it today to a modern crowd, most of whom weren't even born then and it would still sound contemporary and fill the floor.
Play it at a wedding and it'll probably cause a few people in their forties who should know better to try breakdancing all over again, so get your liability insurance sorted out first. But whatever, you can't knock this enormous tune.
