Official release info:
Finally, the pioneering first album from the group that epitomized the spontaneous, simultaneous and glorious emergence of the Hip-Hop and Electro Funk genres is back on vinyl. The song ''Where's the Beat'' has been extracted due to it's not actually being made by the group, but every other note and beat is included as it was originally released, from the opening narration and the sound effects joining the songs to the classic Hip-Hop and Electrofunk in-between.

Also included for the first time anywhere is the previously unreleased track “Disco Kryptonite”. For 40 years following the release of “Jam On It”, one of the most common requests Cozmo had received was to actually do a song called “Disco Kryptonite”. For the rerelease of Jam On Revenge on vinyl, Cozmo figured it was time. Everybody knew that in the Superman battle in the song “Jam On It”, Jam-On used a song called “Disco Kryptonite” to win the battle. So, this new song had to be worthy of the name. The battle would have taken place in the late ‘70s in Brooklyn, so Coz figured that the track should have the feel of that era and place. According to Cozmo, “back then, we would often battle with uptempo Funk records that broke down into breaks”. In those days, the term “Disco” was much more generic, and was used across dance genres. So, Coz decided that “Disco Kryptonite” should be an uptempo Funk Break record. However, he still wanted it to have that authentic Newcleus sound. So, he decided to create it as if he had done a ‘70s Funk record as Newcleus in ’84. So, only using the same synths and drum machines that were available in his studio in 1984 and 1985, “Disco Kryptonite” was born. As always, Cozmo draws very heavily on Roland synths such as the Juno, Jupiter and JX series, as well as the Roland TR-707 and TR-727 drum machines.

So, Finally, the classic Newcleus album Jam On Revenge is back on vinyl. And, the question “What does “Disco Kryptonite” sound like?” is finally answered. And it is only available on vinyl. Whether you are a big fan of Newcleus, or a serious connoisseur of Old School Hip-Hop or Electro, or just a lover of good music, your collection is incomplete without this incredible reissue of Newcleus' classic Jam On Revenge on vinyl!
