Future Shock — 1983

An electro-funk landmark, home to the scratch-driven 'Rockit'. Inventive and huge. A pivotal record. Released in 1983, it's the kind of later record that serious fans treasure.

On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes.
