Three Kids, De La Soul, their first record, or: the most critical, some say, because Prince Paul, the producer, helped himself to the buffet of music history. From Steely Dan to Johnny Cash to Kraftwerk, everything was there and it was the beginning of everything: »3 Feet High and Rising«! Then there were stories from the street and nonsense in your head that you didn’t even have to make up when you were 15 in the eighties, you just had to let it happen. Incidentally, the record companies thought the same thing years later when they had to remove every single sample. Now, for Record Store Day x Black Friday 2023, the whole thing is being released as a limited edition 7-inch box set.
