It's Your Rock (Vocal) 5:49 It's Your Rock 7:00It's Your Rock', the work of Charlie Rock, Larry D & Silver Fox, is without a doubt about as seminal as early NY electro gets, helped by the rarity of the OG Specific versions and the relatively short pressing runs for a record that blew up in the right places. While the A side vox version kills it, for every reason (perhaps 30 somethings will recognise the 'so you wanna go to the disc-oh oh oh oh' vox, as used by De-La Soul some years later), for me, the B-side Instrumental version is untouchable. Aldo Marin's dubwork is beyond genius, more like a bible for analog drum machine heads. The minimal use of a few ingredients from the main track, twisted, phased, flanged & teased into a truly powerful track that listen after listen, still blows you away. In a world of millions on millions of records across the ages, across genres, in terms of programming & editing, this is way, way out there... TOP DRAWER.
There are three presses of this record in circulation. The first press was released as "Fantasy" but due to conflicting names had to be changed to "Fantasy III". These initial presses therefore had the "III" written in on red ink on the label. The second press had the correct name on the label. Both these presses have Truetone etched in the run out groove. In the 90's the second press was bootlegged - this press does not have Truetone in the runout groove.
