The Incredible Bongo Band - Bongo Rock
MGM/Pride Records / PRD -- 0028 ( Rare Record Collection )
Bongo Rock' or 'The Story Of The Incredible Bongo Band' features the two original Bongo Band albums in their entirety (`Bongo Rock` and `The Return of the Incredible Bongo Band`) "The Incredible Bongo Band`s cover of track `Apache` originally made famous by The Shadows, is simply legendary in the world of dance music. Not only arguably one of the most sampled tracks of all time and a staple for Kool Herc and Grandmaster Flash as they invented the art of DJing at the Bronx block parties of the `70s, it has become an all-time hip hop and breakers anthem and is revered as the original break of all original breaks with the rhythms of this LP coining the term Breakbeat.
Formed by MGM AR Michael Viner in 1972 to supplement the soundtrack to the virtually anonymous B film 'The Thing With Two Heads'. The IBB went from loose studio collective to an instrumental pop covers consortium, interpreting classics of the day in their own inimitable percussive fashion.
B-Movie soundtracks, The Beatles, drummers gone bad, Frank Zappa, Kool Herc... The album has a remarkable story behind it, detailed in Angus Batey's extensive sleeve notes.
Apache has been sampled by: Missy Elliot, Coldcut, Will Smith, Goldie, Jurassic 5, Moby, Run DMC, Sugarhill Gang, Beastie Boys and Massive Attack and many many more... A must in every record collection.

grrr...Groovy Shit!!!
Yeah... I'm sure they never even took photos meant for the public. This record was created out of tracks recorded for "The Thing with Two Heads," a 70s horror exploitation flick. That's a long way of saying that the Bongo Band was a studio-only project. After the record became popular, mostly with Black listeners, the label issued additional singles with a plain sleeve -- no band pictures at all -- because they were afraid sales would dry up if people found out the musicians were white.
