Description
Al Diaz “What’s In A Name?” 7” EP White Label Copy w/hand stamped inner sleeve. W/ORIGINAL SAMO STICKER!
RARE Limited edition pressing , white label copy with B-SIDE “SPECIAL DJ REMIX” hand stamped inner sleeve.
“Celebrated NYC Artist/Musician Al Diaz (whom has contributed a rich and bountiful body of work to the art world since the late 1970’s, including collaborating with Jean-Michel Basquiat on the SAMO© graffiti project) delivers a take on the times heard through raw, rolling percussion layered with swirling poetic vocals.
The original master tapes were unearthed in a NY recording studio by producer/engineer Bruce Tovsky (Liquid Liquid, 99 Records). The track itself, which was birthed within the revered No Wave / Post Punk scene of a lost Downtown NYC, is seemingly drenched in the electricity of this glorified era.
