Grandmaster Melle Mel and the Furious Five, Piano, 1989 on New Day Records

After the split between Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel, Mel took the “Grandmaster” role and continued with the Furious Five splitting. On this record the Furious Five include Cowboy, Scorpio, Rahiem, and Kidd Creole (credited as Kid Creole), but no Flash.

The Furious Five with Flash did reunite in 1988 for On the Strength, on Elektra – so not sure what the state of the relationship was when this came out in 1989. Can’t find much about New Day Records either, other than it existed something like 1989-1993.

My copy—via Academy Records in NYC—is an 80s pressing on New Day labels.
