"Originally released in 1980, The Sugarhill Gang's debut album is one of first full length releases in hip-hop history and features the stone-cold classic 'Rapper's Delight' which was the first-ever international rap hit, introducing the world to the sound of the South Bronx. Released on the legendary Sugarhill Records (run by Sylvia Robinson of Mickey & Sylvia fame, along with her husband Joe),
The Sugarhill Gang
is not only an important piece of music history, it's an ass-shaking good time. Reissued on CD with the original track listing and artwork for the very first time."

"Originally released in 1982, The Sugarhill Gang's sophomore release is more of the same amazing combination of funk, go-go rhythms and rap that coalesced so famously on 'Rapper's Delight' and the Gang's debut release.
8th Wonder
features the hit 'Apache' along with several other classics like the funky 'Hot Hot Summer Day' and 'Funk Box.' Another hip-hop history lesson on CD for the first time."

Exact repro of this 1982 release, manufactured by Rhino. "While they didn't garner the critical praise of their label cohorts, Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five, the Sugarhill Gang still produced their share of memorable slices of early hip-hop. Helping to bring Sylvia Robinson's Sugar Hill Records into the limelight, the label's namesake group erred more on the funk side of the hip-hop equation, plying a steamy, all-night mix of go-go grooves, straight funk singing, and rapping.
8th Wonder
features the hits 'Apache' and the title track, as well as such slick funk burners as 'Hot Hot Summer Day' and the incredible bit of uptown dance alchemy 'Funk Box.'" --All Music Guide
