Breakdance (K-Tel, 1984) -Ripped from Vinyl

[@SandiiCom]

Aussie kid from the 80's here. I bought this with it's fold-out breakdance instructions... Naturally my mother was all like: "Don't come running to me when you break your neck!..."

[@beardymcbeardface69]

LOL Same. Sydney Australia, I had a huge square of slippery cardboard on the floor in my room, where me and friends would practice. Spinning around on it with one hand in woollen glove, was a favourite. I remember a kid at my school broke his collar bone when attempting to head spin.

[@JG-zs8tr]

Where were you for the Olympics lol 🇦🇺

[@beardymcbeardface69]

@@JG-zs8tr LOL I feel so embarrassed right now, after seeing that horrendous performance! For her, for Australia and for our innocent kangaroos. They didn't sign up for this ridicule!

[@scott081071]

OMG! I remember having this Cassette tape. I used to break dance to all of the music on here. I'm now 52 years old now. I use the music to work out to and still try doing the break dance music.

[@johnshofe9668]

You are my hero. My brother and I listened to this all the time when we were kids. He died about a year after we got it. I would listen to it all the time and think about him. Someone stole it from me in my teenage years, and I've struggled to remember the exact name of the record since. You have my eternal gratitude!!!!

[@episodeseven]

Abdomina Gaming Thank you man for your uplifting and positive feedback. BREAKDANCE FOREVER.

[@africkinamerican]

same here! My big brother had this one... and white boys used to break dance off this at my school!

[@brianconner3222]

You can still find the album on ebay

[@Unklechopchop]

This album actually got me into KRAFTWERK when I was a kid . RIP Florian Schneider & long live KRAFTWERK 🖤 thank you K-tel

[@briscoetravel]

This album was my Jam when I was a lil guy! It deff came as a suprise when I eventually discovered Kraftwerk years later at 12 years old. Still love all of it!!!

[@chriswhelan1306]

Tour De France. Yes! This takes me back. I still have my LP with the poster intact, also.

[@JG-zs8tr]

80s kid from New Jersey. We had a record player in the basement but only a few LPs and this was one of them. So it got a LOT of spins. Those were the days.

[@bfloguy716]

Still have this album on vinyl from my childhood.😊

[@codprocamp4690]

I remember playing my Atari 2600 and listening to this on my Panasonic tape recorder, time flies.

[@LanceCampeau]

OMFG.... I haven't heard this record in 30 years... Sweet upload...

[@connieplankghost]

Those synth sounds and Drummachines Just blown my mind when i was a kid.

[@sonofabeach71]

That album was funky fresh. I remember the "How To Breakdance" poster that came with it...aaah def times..

[@benyogubbins]

Woooow. I recall making a copy of this tape when I was 9 (1987) from my friend Sergio Castro's brother (who died on a motorcicle accident around that same year). I still remember the order of the songs. This was literally the first cassette I owned!!! Cheers from Chile.

[@josevillafranca2114]

I was 13 when this came out, I lived in Laredo, Texas . Had the poster hanging in our living room, as I didn't have a bedroom. Would jam to this and "learn" some moves, that I still bust out at times. I'm 49 years old.

[@Slammediadotca]

Holy crap I had this on cassette back in the day and wore it out :)

[@jimboya2]

I was 13 when this came out. I haven't heard this in years and years. So good. Funny how it all comes back. I still know most of the lyrics

[@LarryJFly]

Where are you from James?I have family members who are Elstons..

[@robertrodriguez9152]

Same here 😊

[@CoryHilliard]

Who knew Germans would be huge pioneers of Hip Hop.

[@SpookiBoiPro33]

believe it or not I still have This. on Vinyl......

[@standepain]

lol I still have it on Tape.

[@MrMuench]

Does yours have the instructional poster on the inside?

[@vinto34]

First heard this album in 1990... brought it for $2 from a second hand shop even had the original poster teaching you how to breakdance.

[@catherinebirch2399]

I came across a cassette of this in 1991, & listened to it all the time. Hearing this takes me back to what I was doing at the time.

[@ArmandoPerez-kg7vi]

45 yrs and yeah, I had this vinel when it came out. One of my favorites. Thanks for bringing back those good memories.

[@ScottPenass]

I'm 52 years old and I grew up listening to breakdance Album

[@richrichard9038]

What a treat this was to listen to. I have not heard some of these tracks in over 30 years.

[@abiliodepaula3832]

I have this LP ...31 Years with me. VERY VERY NICE TRACKS.

[@vnzboy]

Bro i think i still have this LP too. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ChristopherStamps-ro9iv]

no freakin way.. lol I wasn’t born yet when it first hit record stores but spotted the vinyl at an estate sale for 5bucks so i pounced on it, and now it’s here to hear !!

[@PaulOverstreet39503]

I hade this cassette tape before Breakin' tape this be the classic to me

[@TINMAN-jm9sw]

I was looking for this! Thank you 🙏

[@walterjayasinghe4488]

Excellent songs that I listened during 1984....

[@christiansalon5310]

Fue la mejor compilación de Breakdance del momento, y con el grande de los grandes Grandmaster Flash

[@ittizlife5113]

This tracks rocked the hip hop world and laid the foundations to what has come since. So basic, yet so complex. Never to be repeated. The Zenith of the bboy era. Rock the Disco

[@robovike]

This album included a fold-out poster showing you how to do break dance moves in step-by-step, black and white still photos, including the head spin. Probably not the safest thing, but I'm happy to be reunited with Tour de France.

[@WLSTRUPCZEWSKI]

The cassette came in one of the legendary long boxes, complete with the poster and the "rap sheet" which had the lyrics.

[@marinochristiano699]

& vla des Souvnir qui remonte d'un coup sa me redonne là patate ! 🤔😲 Pas vous à ceux qui on mon Âge ? 😉🇨🇵🇨🇮...

[@Insane92]

I've been watching Snowfall on FX and the breakdance music took me back to this era. I was 10 when my older sister had this vinly. Was into RunDMC, Fatboys, Newcleus Jam On It, Herbie Hancock, Roxanne Chante, Beat Street.... Thank you for this.

[@budmucket]

Same as other comments... soooo good to hear this again after all these years

[@budmucket]

Studied the poster day after day and still couldn't do most of the moves!

[@Sklang32]

It's been a LONG time there eardrums. But we've found it!

[@Mikuanda]

At 3:07 it skips, losing three "gra-"s. It's supposed to go: "Pieces Cowboy, Virgo And Gra- gra- gra- gra- Grandmaster Flash cuts so on."

[@thegsk]

Yup heard the skip too if u know u know

[@jcmolero71]

Sono-Rodven Venezuela distributed this in same year, happy they had the Ktel franchise

[@dabig25]

I remember I had this on cassette

[@simonemiliogarridorivas7682]

mi primer intento cuando conoci este baile que juventud 1986

[@Fuhrmaro]

I still have the poster it came with!

[@nerdrock8087]

Wow, this takes me back. I was about 13/14 when this came out. This was the first cassette I bought at a record store. I remember hanging the NYC Breakers poster on my bedroom door. I tried so, so hard to breakdance, but I really sucked....BAD. Lol!! Great memories, though!!

[@tossiegough]

....same....I looked like a cat that had been involved in a car accident....😁

[@davidfrenck7426]

Thank you for posting this. This was the soundtrack for my life when I was 13. Memories man.

[@maccagrabme]

That cover version of Rockit!

[@africkinamerican]

I like this version better than the original

[@artao5]

YES!!! i just KNEW this would one day show up in my searches!! i owned this album and wore it the fuck OUT .. and it had that poster that taught me (somewhat) to break ... and my dad didn't much appreciate me trying to learn to scratch using his nice turntable ;) LOL Thank you SO MUCH for putting this up. Decent quality too :)

[@artao5]

... side 2 really is pretty crappy tho LOL

[@episodeseven]

+artao5 Ha! No problem! Glad you rediscovered this gem from your childhood. Enjoy! (The vinyl came with the poster still fresh. And I mean FRESHHHHH. Score!)

[@chriswhelan1306]

+artao5 Side 2 is the educational side! :) It's the rap version of calling a square dance.

[@GldVWisRR]

So true!!! Parents hated me near the turntable. lol Oh great childhood memories with the big sheet of cardboard. lmao.

[@artao5]

My parents made me move my big ol' cardboard (refrigerator box) down to the basement rather than the driveway, so the neighbors wouldn't see LOL

[@brianconner3222]

Ahh...my old record I got from Zody's back in the day!!! 😂

[@RajaArumugasamy]

Awesome lp😊😊😊

[@ZillaMesh]

Casey Gilmore you out there? You rocked this on the church breakdance bus & I remember.

[@v3tvv]

This was my first album. I got it for Christmas with my first stereo. Wow, I was 11, what a great memory/post. Thanks!

[@dasfreshyo]

I loved this album. I got the cassette in the 80s with the NYCB breakdancing instructional poster. I got it again on Ebay in 2004, poster included!

[@bw_kollectr]

Such a crazy mix and mash up….it’s beautiful ..I was born in 1994 and completely skipped this era of breakin but my mom and uncle put me onto so much of this since they grew up pop locking and breakin so to me this is such a golden era of it’s own. Thank you just bought this on my cassette player

[@MessinjureDuv]

Big Salute for the Upload ! Had this on cassette, but still have the Breakdance poster that came with it. Thnx Agin !

[@visualimpactmedia8205]

Outstanding, bringing back the old school Hip Hop LP's. - from a Breaker/Graffiti man & all-round B-boy.

[@tonyranger9241]

Bit lino back in the day troop tracksuit.brings back real days

[@robarment7673]

Thank you for posting this! I found Electric Kingdom about ten years ago, but haven’t heard the rest since maybe 1986/87! It’s crazy that I’ve had pieces of the breakin’ instructions in my head all these years. And the line, Loose like a goose turning every which way, he’s a man you understand with no vertebrae! Great stuff!!

[@SenorX75]

I had this on tape. I had no idea there was an instructional poster that went with it until just now. Great memories hearing this music!

Wuau!! esto si es un aporte; publicado por SONORODVEN en momentos que el Breakdance se apoderaba de la juventud Venezolana...

[@thegsk]

Blondie Deborah Harry kickin it off with that fab 5 freddy rap \m/

[@mauiakeo]

An excellent album cover art, that's on top of my list

[@jimminshall7449]

I had this album when I was a kid. Played it all the time. I think it came with a New York City Breakers poster?

[@Raul-vh9is]

[@leeb8657]

[@christianrandolfsalonblanc8631]

El rey Grandmaster Flash sin duda una de las mejores épocas para este estilo musical.

[@Pato3DG]

This means so much to me, thank you so much!!

[@tonewest211]

I was searching for the "Breakmaster" album by K-Tel that came out maybe a year before or maybe just around the same time as this album & it brought me here lol It was given to me as a birthday gift in Oct. of that year in the early to mid 80's. If my memory serves me corrrectly "Space Cowboy" by the Jonzun Crew was one of the cuts on the record. Will somebody please upload it for my B_day this year! 🎉 Happy New Year!! 🎊

[@djskinnytaulilo-makaea89]

[@viejohans]

Increíble como llego a sonar ALEX & THE CITY CREW en Ingles, Holandes y hasta en Español. Recuerdo haber visto esa caratula del disco en las tiendas de todo el mundo incluyendo Amsterdam, Bogota, NYC y Atenas en 1984. Saludos BBoy Hans.

You're right. I should have double checked that. Oh well. Playlist is on the video. Thanks for pointing that out.

[@iamernieg]

I still have this album as well! I used to crack up laughing when the dude got waaaayyy off beat at the end!!!! 44:52 to be exact!
