Just bought this LP, I can hardly wait to hear it :lol:

From description:

Item Specifics - Music: Records Speed: 33 RPM

Genre: Rap, Pop, Computer

Record Size: 12"

Yes believe it or not in 1987 Shinola Records produced Mac The Rapper singing "What Is Love". 3 versions of the song are featured on the LP: Radio mix, Instrumental dub & Club mix. The singing is created using the Apple's text to speech software with back-up vocals by "The Girlfriends". The album artwork is created using Apple's MacPaint.

When I saw this I initially thought it was an old Kris Kross album (Mac Daddy and Daddy Mac). (I actually remember when those guys were the "new" thing, which goes to show how antiquated I am becoming!)

This artwork is pretty good, although they'd have to print two prints if it was really MacPaint-generated. MacPaint was always 1-bit although the magenta color looks pretty close to the one used as a "Mac standard" in the early days (if you know what I mean...those of us who have dealt with CLUT resources probably remember this).

Yep, add another vote for 1) a description of what it sounds like and 2) a rip.

#12 Sat, 21 Mar 2009 - 23:13 68kMLA

Well worth the wait :beige:

#13 Sun, 22 Mar 2009 - 02:39 68kMLA

What about MP3s of the tracks?

#14 Tue, 24 Mar 2009 - 13:39 68kMLA

Ow. My brain.

#15 Tue, 24 Mar 2009 - 15:07 68kMLA

Wow. Not what I expected. The 80s were interesting times.

#16 Wed, 25 Mar 2009 - 00:16 68kMLA

Well worth the wait :beige:

Indeed, but from what I can tell, the instrumental B side wasn't included in the YouTube video? I for one would like to hear it.

#17 Wed, 25 Mar 2009 - 16:47 68kMLA

Actually I made a mistake in labeling the MP3's :I

- Radio MIX is Club MIX - 4:53

- DUB MIX is Instrumental DUB - 3:37

- Instrumental MIX is Radio MIX which is the same as Club mix but shorter - 3:37

#18 Wed, 25 Mar 2009 - 20:09 68kMLA

Is that a 12" single? Such as for Disc Jockeys?
