Update 10/20/11: The original conversion of this was record was desperately lacking in volume and bass. You’ll now find a new mix of this at the link below with the punch it deserves. I hope you enjoy.

Breakdance Music Conductor is the least likely occupation for a guy named Larry. The list of jobs that preceed BMC on Larry’s Hardhat List include but are not limited to sandwich artist, trapeze constructor and savings and loan officer. So it goes without saying that Larry Wolff must have had a tough go at it getting this album pressed. Maybe that’s why I found it still sealed 25 years after its debut in the used record bin at St. Vincent DePaul Thrift Store in St. Bernard.
The songs are so fun loving and catchy it’s really a shame they didn’t make it onto some kooky 80s movie soundtrack. I could totally see Ralph Macchio poppin’ and lockin’ or maybe Moonwalkin’ to Boogie Bod during the arcade scene in Karate Kid. At least I think there was an arcade scene–is there an 80s movie that doesn’t include a gratuitous screen shot of Ms. Pac Man’s junk? I mean this album is by Larry Wolff & The Streetbeaters. Personally I cannot fathom a better artist name to be included on a soundtrack about kicking, punching and manwaxing.
Someone desperately needs to sample this for a new project or I just might keel over and die. I don’t want Larry’s trials and tribulations to have been for nothing. LARRY WORKED TOO HARD DESTROYING MILK TOAST NAME ASSOCIATIONS, GOD DAMMIT!!!

Wow. Had this cassette tape as a kid in the 80s. My cousin too. We used to jam on this and WISH we could breakdance. Thanks for the cool memories!
I had this back in the 80′s. I still think it rocks.
