On This Day - 1st of December 1987

On this day... 37 years ago.

1st of December 1987. LL Cool J at the Brighton Centre, supported by Public Enemy & Eric B & Rakim.

This gig was a revelation for an indie kid from Sussex - tabloid moral panic scaremongering about hip hop, so there were metal detectors on the door to stop weapons getting into the venue, a real feeling of danger & that anything could happen. Of course, in reality there were no weapons or bad vibes 😆

Public Enemy in full militant mode with the Security of the 1st World, LL Cool J appearing on stage via a giant ghetto blaster, amazing stuff!

Artist Of The Day: Depth Charge

Listening to these today 🔥 🔈

RIP J.Saul Kane

Bounty Killers blew me away when it came out in 1989 - what a brilliant record, still love it today, a treasured 12" 🧡

Shaolin Buddha Finger was a massive tune a few years later & really the whole album is excellent

Limited selection on Spotify, so you need to hunt down physical media to hear some of these 😀
