The Album That Invented Hardcore Hip-Hop and Spread Its Gospel: Run-D.M.C. Changed the Sound of Music and Popular Culture, Includes “Rock Box”

40th Anniversary Edition of Run-D.M.C.'s 1984 Debut Benefits from Definitive Restorative Treatment: Mobile Fidelity's Hybrid SACD Is Strictly Limited to 2,000 Numbered Copies

The impact, influence, and importance of Run-D.M.C.'s self-titled debut – the album that invented hardcore hip-hop and bridged rap, rock, and funk in then-unparalleled ways – cannot be measured. The first full-length record released by Profile Records, the 1984 set permanently changed the sound of music, broadcast streetwise wisdom to every corner of the country, and made the notion of a one-man band a distinct reality. Bolstered by an incendiary blend of staccato deliveries, stark beats, aggressive exchanges, evocative hooks, and socially conscious messages, Run-D.M.C. still hits listeners in the jaw with the same intensity it did nearly 40 years ago when it could be heard booming from ghetto blasters carried around city blocks nationwide.

Mastered by Rob LoVerde, assisted by Shawn R. Britton and old school in more ways than one.

This is the most analogue and smooth sounding of the Run-DMC SACD releases. There is no evidence that the higher frequencies have been boosted or that any digital mixing/editing was used.

It sounds natural and of its time sonically. Turn it up and it just gets better.

A major sonic improvement compared to the previous CD releases.


We are lucky to have this on SACD, so get it while you can.
