Jazzy Sensation (1979/80)

Planet Rock (1982/3) - The Classic!

Looking For The Perfect Beat

Renegades Of Funk

(all on Tommy Boy....)

Some of his stuff from Time Zone (both on Celluloid and Profile)

And, if you've got some serious record-finding karma:

THE DEATH MIX - Afrika Bambaata and Jazzy Jay (recorded live in the Bronx
around 1983. Some of the most mind-blowing DJing that you'll hear. Also one of
the rarest hip-hop records ever).

Dig!
