DESCRIPTION

Kurtis Walker - better known by his stage name Kurtis Blow - was the first rapper and hip/hop artist to be signed to US major record label Mercury in 1979. His first single "Christmas Rappin" became an instant classic selling nearly half a million copies on 12-inch. The follow-up single "The Breaks" sold more than a million copies, making it the very first rap single to be certified Gold. Kurtis Blow's self-titled debut album was released in 1980 and due to the success, he performed in Europe and Japan spreading the new hip hop sound all over the world.

During his career, Kurtis Blow has released a total of fifteen albums and a slew of solo singles such as "Throughout Your Years", "Hard Times" and "Tough". The tracks "America", "If I Ruled The World" (which was later sampled by The Fugees and Nas) and "Basketball" further cemented his hip hop legend. Next to his solo work, he also as collaborated with The Fat Boys, Run D.M.C., Sheila E. on "Krush Groovin'" from the 1985 influential hip hop movie Krush Groove, René and Angela's "Save Your Love (For #1)", and "Funky Stuff" together with 2024 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee Kool & The Gang.

The 2LP Kurtis Blow Collected is an overview of the biggest and best hits by one of the original godfathers of Hip Hop, housed in a gatefold sleeve.

Frequently Asked Questions

We are a European label and for the majority of our releases, we only have the European rights, meaning that they’re produced for the European market only. Because of this, these releases are not available for purchase at our MOV shop.

Are you located outside of Europe? This is most likely the reason why the product is not available to you. We are sorry for any disappointment that may have caused!

If the record is essential for your collection (which we would understand), we'd advise to search for European shops or marketplaces.

A pre-order product is a product which still needs to be produced. So, after your purchase, you won’t receive this product immediately. We strive to send these on the Release Date which you can find on the product page under the collapsible tab called “Details”.

Keep in consideration that manufacturing processes can always turn out to be delayed so this Release Date, acts as a guideline.

When the ordered item is in stock, we always aim to dispatch your order as soon as possible.

The pre-order articles have an (expected) release date listed on the product page. We usually ship out these pre-order articles several days before the release date, to ensure that you will receive the record on - or as close as possible to - the release date.

If you place an order with both pre-order items and items the MOV Shop has in stock, your entire order will be shipped on the latest pre-order date of any of the pre-ordered items. If you do not wish to wait, please place separate orders.
