Ba-Dop-Boom-Bang

From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Work

Ba-Dop-Boom-Bang is Grandmaster Flash's fifth album and was released in 1987 on Elektra. The cassette version was called Ba-Dop-Boom-Bang...And More and the CD Ba-Dop-Boom-Bang...And Even More, both with extra tracks that were not on the original vinyl record. The record opens with a short version of Ain't We Funkin' Now and closes with a reprise of it. In between are, among others, U Know What Time It Is, Kid Named Flash, Tear the Roof Off and I Am Somebody.

On European pressings the title of All Wrapped Up was misprinted as All Rapped Up. In 2005 the record was reissued on CD by Collectors' Choice Music, with the original track listing of the vinyl record without extra tracks. The booklet contained a new essay by Peter Relic.

Listening

Listening tip. Listen to the short Ain't We Funkin' Now that opens the album and also closes it in a reprise. Can you hear how the opening track returns?
