The Celluloid Records Story - If you know, than you know. Thanks to @StrutRecords, a slew of the legendary music of Celluloid Records has been unearthed with their album “Change The Beat: The Celluloid Records Story 1979-1987”, most of it produced by Bill Laswell. These mini documentaries accompany the album.
Part 2 (below) has some amazing highlights, including a story about Bill Laswell going to see Mick Jagger with Grand Mixer DXT, and how he went to the Tuscany countryside to talk to Ginger Baker to convince him to play with John Lydon on the Public Image Ltd. album “P.I.L.” Yes, he succeeded.
You also get to hear DXT talk about what it was like to DJ at the legendary Roxy, and how he revolutionized the word “FRESH” in a little song by Herbie Hancock called “Rockit” that won a Grammy.
I should use this opportunity to dig up the recording of when I had Grandmixer DXT on my radio show a while back, but I’ll leave that for another day…
