Liquid Liquid - Sal Principato

<p>Sal Principato - Liquid Liquid - in conversation David Eastaugh</p> <p>Liquid Liquid emerged from downtown New York's <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_wave'>no wave</a> scene. The group's original records were pressed in very limited quantities on <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/99_Records'>99 Records</a>, and can now fetch high prices. "Cavern" originally appeared on the EP, Optimo, recorded by Don Hunerberg. Though the pressings were small, the music has had a lasting and far reaching impact. A music video for "Cavern" was produced by <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Sporn'>Michael Sporn</a>.</p> <p>After "Cavern" was sampled for <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melle_Mel'>Grandmaster + Melle Mel's</a> <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_school_rap'>old school rap</a> classic, "<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Lines_(Don%27t_Don%27t_Do_It)'>White Lines (Don't Don't Do It)</a>," 99 Records took Sugarhill to court over its unauthorized use, and after an expensive court battle, won compensation. Before they could collect, however, Sugarhill went into receivership.<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_Liquid#cite_note-2'>[2]</a> The song was also included on the <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disco_Not_Disco'>Disco Not Disco</a>compilation album. The first three EPs, plus live material, were reissued in 1997 by <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Royal'>Grand Royal</a> (US) and <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mo%27_Wax'>Mo' Wax</a> (UK). After the collapse of both these labels, <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domino_Recording_Company'>Domino Records</a>released the music from all three original 12"s plus extra tracks and early live recordings as Slip In And Out Of Phenomenon in 2008.</p>
