In 1982... I remember clearly riding in my sisters boy friends supped up 1965 mustang. Billy was blasting "Buffalo Gals" down Grand Ave in Spring Valley more than likely going around 70+ and doing burnouts or donuts.(mother fucker was crazy) The single just came out and to this day I still don't know how he got a hold of it or why he bought it he was a rock head. That wailing spooky scream at the beginning had me hooked from the get go. Buffalo Gals was the first song that I ever heard a DJ scratch on a song. The video was even better! My old writing partner Kaze and I first got to watch the video for Buffalo Gals on a TV show called "Night Flight" a year later. I tripped out how in the movie "scratching" all those DJ gave credit to "rocket being the first to have scratching on it" I was thinking bull shit! or maybe just these DJ's first notice "scratching" on that album. But come to think about it Grandmaster Flash put out the " The Official Adventures Of Grandmaster Flash" in 1981, which has scratching and cutting and back spinning breaks featured on the single.
