Beat Box: Peanut Butter Wolf Presents 45 Live- 10 45 Single Box Set

Now this is just pure class! Literally the 3rd or 4th nice package deal coming out of the Stones Throw camp this fall (to be followed up by Mayer Hawthorne’s eagerly anticipated LP). A ten 45 rpm 7” single box set with choice hip hop cuts (many of them rare or obscure throwbacks from the 1980s) hand picked by label boss Peanut Butter Wolf.
Not only does Wolf dig hard and deep for this retrospective in the early days of the enduring genre, but he also chopped and re-edited each one, both breathing a bit of new life on these compositions and optimizing them for sound on the media format. None of these cuts originated on 45rpm/7” singles, they were all derived from 12” singles and full-length LP’s. Many of the songs here were originally over 7 minutes long, however it can be assured that Wolf leaves the bread and butter essential pieces of the songs untouched in the shortened format.
I dig Stones Throw’s nod to the overall packaging concept; to craft it as if it were a bunch of old funk 45’s. Considering how many of these tracks probably sampled funk and rare groove, just like many hip hop producers today are looking back to content within the genre from the same time period that these singles were originally released, it only makes sense. In 2030, there will probably be a label that will re-release “classics” from today on a “vintage” iPod Touch!
