  DOUBLE DEE & STEINSKI

"THE LESSONS 1/2/3"
TOMMY BOY RECORDS (PROMO)

  • PROMOTIONAL 12" SINGLE

  • ALL THREE LESSONS

  • 1983 TOMMY BOY CONTEST WINNER

  • VERY HARD TO FIND

  • NR MINT/MINT NEVER PLAYED!

In 1983, Tommy Boy Records held a remix contest to promote G.L.O.B.E. & Whiz Kid's "Play That Beat (Mr. DJ)." The unanimous winner was Steve "Steinski" Stein & Douglas "Double Dee" DiFranco's "Lesson One: The Payoff Mix." Two more Lessons soon followed: "Lesson Two: The James Brown Mix" and "Lesson Three: The History of Hip-Hop."

"Lesson One" became an urban radio hit within days, but was never commercially released because of its extensive and eclectic samples. Clearing the sound clips -- a diverse collection ranging from Mae West and Humphrey Bogart to Ed McMahon and Herbie Hancock -- would have been a legal nightmare under copyright law.

Made in a cutting-edge studio with Steinski's extensive vinyl collection, these three tracks paved the way for current cut-and-paste turntablist experimentation. Countless basement DJs were influenced by The Lessons, including DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist, who both released unofficial tributes called "Lesson Four."

ATTENTION: Runout groove does not contain Franford/Wayne Stamp. However, it does contain the Tommy Boy Catalog numbers and a hand written star on both sides. From the recent information I have gathered, this is the Official 2002 Tommy Boy Reissue. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Dee_and_Steinski).
Nevertheless, this is still a rarity and a must for any collection...
