Released under the name of "You Don't Ever Stop" but acting more like a dub version of "Wordy Rappinghood". Some of the "Wordy Rappinghood" 12" singles contained "Elephant" on the B Side, and it seems that the "Wordy Rappinghood" 12" singles containing "You Don't Ever Stop" on the flip are a bit harder to come across.
Buy the 7" here! Of course the 7" version is significantly much shorter than the 12" single version posted here, but I couldn't find the 12" for sale anywhere online. Happy hunting!
"New York City, 1977 - It was a time when the city had fallen into decay, with too few jobs, money, police, schools, and social services. There was a city wide blackout with major looting, a serial killer on the loose, and the Bronx was burning. And yet out of the chaos emerged one of the most creative times any city has ever encountered.
Executive Produced by Academy Award Nominee Nanette Burstein ("The Kid Stays in the Picture"), "NY77: The Coolest Year In Hell" is a two-hour documentary that tells the story of one astonishing year in New York City history. The documentary is told chronologically and weaves together the stories of the emergence of hip hop, punk and disco, graffiti art, and sexual liberation. In the background are the major political events and social issues of the day -- crime, urban decay, financial woes, the infamous blackout, drugs, Son of Sam, the bitter mayoral election and the overall poverty that gripped the city.
Out of chaos came creation. From the South Bronx came hip hop. From the Lower East Side, the thrashing guitars of punk. And all over the city, a disco revolution was underway. Elaborate, finely crafted graffiti art decorated the subway cars and break-dancers shimmied in the streets. The sexual revolution was in full swing. In January 1977, most of this activity existed in its own underground bubble. Yet by the end of the year this artistic expression was on its way to mainstream America, and would be with us for generations to come."
Features interviews with Chris Stein of Blondie, Nicky Siano, David Mancuso, Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash, Afrika Bambaataa, Richard Hell. Patti Smith, Chuck D, Nile Rogers, etc.
