Malcolm McLaren - "Duck Rock" Acetates
"The influence of Duck Rock seems an eternal presence in pop. A rough estimate suggests the album has been sampled on around 400 tracks, by Eminem, Drake, Dr Dre, J Cole, Missy Elliott, De La Soul, Pharrell Williams, A Tribe Called Quest, Public Enemy, J Dilla and Madlib among umpteen others. And thatās just hip-hop: elsewhere, borrowing from Duck Rock is the thread that links Lana Del Rey to Linkin Park, the KLF to Alicia Keyes and Erykah Badu." - The Guardian, 2023
These are the original acetates used by The Supreme Team in the creation of the scratches heard on Malcolm McLarenās landmark albumĀ Duck Rock.
A rare surviving artefact from a foundational moment, these acetates represent original source material from an album that redefined the possibilities of popular music. Released in 1983, Duck Rock fused early hip hop, South African mbaqanga and Latin rhythms, helping introduce sampling culture, turntablism and the wider language of hip hop to mainstream audiences.Ā
Recovered during a storage clearance at Sarm Studios, the London studio headquarters of Trevor Horn in the 1980s, these acetates contain the drum, bass and vocal elements.
As working studio objects, they stand as both production tools and primary documents of the album.Ā
