Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five And The First Ever Cassette Single

JayQuan, a staff writer with Rock The Bells and the official historian of the National Hip-Hop Museum in Washington D.C., tells the story of gaining information on a certain Grandmaster Flash & The Furious 5 single predating “Vacation” by The Go-Go’s as the first official U.S. cassette single. The well-narrated video contains great visuals that expand the vividness of the story and allow you to grab a glimpse of some vintage cassette releases.  That same “Freedom” single was also released as the 2nd Sugar Hill 12″ in Yugoslavia by the Aleksandrovac label Diskos in 1981.
