Record Facts* and Statistics**
1.* There are two** 'space' records with excellent starts sorely let down by the pedestrian nature of what follows: 'Telstar' and 'Intergalactic' by The Beastie Boys.
2.* Rap is nearly all rubbish. The best rap records ever made are 'The Revolution Will Not Be Televised', and 'Tubthumping' by Chumbawumba , one** of which is the first rap record, and both** of which would stand out as being excellent on their own merits whatever the genre.
