This is great! A hybrid of John Carpenter's classic 'Assault on Precinct 13' score, and the funky electronic beats of Hip Hop pioneer, Afrika Bambaataa. Fantastic!
I gave my vinyl copy to Freddie Fresh. That man extended considerable generosity to me, so im ok to reciprocate that. Great tune, one of the Old School gems that almost borders into Italo House but keeps it Hip Hop Electro. Just about perfect, and off the radar of most people. Check out Terranova feat Trick - Bombing Bastards - if you haven't already for another quality Assult on precinct 13 remix .
First heard a version of this on StreetSounds HipHop Electro 13 ... brilliant tune. Bam credits John Carpenter because he borrowed the tune from the film, which Carpenter also wrote the music for, I believe
Dennis Price This isn't rare so there are hundreds that own this on vinyl. Now if you had the original 33rpm of beat bop then you are a lucky owner :-)
Still is one of my favourite tunes ever stood the test of time.
lost for words, when it first came out, right up until you know, hip hop never dies !
Incredible tune,so many memories ❤️👌
The mixing on electro 13 was out of this world.
Got both tried the mix myself many a time after getting it off that lol
And what a mix it was mate it was like they was meant to be
Yes was awesome blends on Electro 13, I listen to that album now and it still puts hairs on the back of my neck, it's that good!
Sweeeeeeeeeeet.
This would be the perfect song to listen to while driving around the city at night
Loved it it was on Electro 13 had all the Electro albums up to 14
Best bit of 13 in my humble opinion 👊we must be all late forties early fifties now :(

The anthem of breakdance... Windmills backspins sixes... And 40 years back in time...
NINTEEN HUNDRED AND EIGHTY SIX. outstanding, thank you for this upload.
Bang on. What a tune and movie too
i can see these tunes being the new thing again in the pop charts. still sounds good in 2016
A CLASSIC HIP HOP TRACK FROM 1986..
Well, this version of the movie theme is even better than the original movie theme:-))
The greatest tune ever made. Regardless of genre and style. This is it.
Even after all those years still a great tune !!!

quality tune :) from the day ..
i got this on 12" :)
this is 12'' maxi single version
@Graeme Thompson It's cheap enough on Discogs
good good!
The one on the album is different (not bad at all by the way). This one, I think, can only be found on double single Bambaataa's Theme/Tension.
I think this track never came out on a LP, but only on 12inc. I am the lucky owner :-)
This is the original cover btw
Dennis Price I have the vinyl
Same here mate :-)

ragga hiphop Mine is pressed on Tommy Boy but still think I am a lucky owner :-)
2:40 & 3:31 oooooooooooooohhh
3:49 Maniac Mansion anyone?
Timeless
@MrOldskoolrap It was from the LP "Beware, The Funk Is Everywhere" it was remixed and didnt sound as good as this original 12" IMO....
still a blast off to beyond!
SUPPORT WITHDRAWN!
When tings was fresh kid.
can anyone recommend more bambaataa tracks similar to this?
all of the obvious ones are great = add Tension to the list
I played this last week in west Virginia at a dance
👌
Top demais!
Electro 13
This one is a great mix!
2017 😏
Can this version be found in an album? I have found two versions of the song, not as good as this one.
not on the album, I have searched for this on amazon.
@MrOldskoolrap it was on electro 13 if this helps mate ?
the beats in the beginning really resemble new order's true faith!!!! did new order copied bambaataa's?
Those beats are from Tour de France by Kraftwerk.
Bambaataa tend to ste... borrow from them.
Funny you should say that. They both worked with Arthur Baker...I guess knowledge rubs off...you can hear a little of New Order's Blue Monday in here.
(y)
still sounds the dogs nuts.
