Rock Hill - Rock The Beat


This is one of those records that slips your mind - when you've heard it you may think, 'yeah, now I know why' - but I like it and I'm sure it was on the same tape as 'Rappin' Insane' (see below) and when you're young and have little or no money or resources, listening to the same tape over and over pretty much daily imprints certain tunes, particularly from this era into the old grey matter for life. I did forget about this one till quite late and only copped one a few years ago. but it won't be the only one and if I ever begin to suffer from some debilitating mind illness I'm sure a few rotations of these kinds of jams will be the trigger I need to bring me back into the here and now. I don't wish to make light of such illnesses but, you know, it could happen to any one of us. My short term memory is pretty useless but once you're hooked on these, you're hooked for life and it's nice to have a good memory brought back once in a while, don't you think?

Well, you must be the only person I know that likes/has heard this song.
I got this back in 1990 from a mail order record shop as the name 'Rock Hill' was imprinted in my brain from listening to it over and over on one of my (scarce) Mike Allen tapes.

It's truly one of those records where if you weren't there at the time then it's be pretty hard to try and like it now.
But I love it.

I think it's that weird 'raspberry' sample that I wasn't too keen on at first but it's a great record and you can get past that.
