Talk:Grandmaster Flash

message: So, there is a discography here which seems to contain albums from Grandmaster Flash, and albums from Grandmaster Flash *and the Furious Five*. I can't speak with authority but it seems that the convention is usually to list the two separately, or to indicate "(with the [whatever group])" for non-solo albums.§  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Olsdude (talk • contribs) 14:47, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

Why does 'Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five' redirect to 'Grandmaster Flash'? Shouldn't the group get their own page? - TydAmaNN58 April 12, 2006
* Grandmaster Flash didn't rap, he was a dj and yes.. the furious five do deserve their own page.. maybe I'll make it one day. PeterPartyOn 06:30, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Should Grandmaster Flash and Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five not be seperate articles. Using the argument that one is a person, the other is a/his band? —Preceding unsigned comment added by NotoriousTF (talk • contribs) 05:48, 1 November 2007
: Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five do have their own article, but most of the content is the same.  This article needs cleaned up to get rid of the redundancy.  The redirect with the lowercase 't' in "the" was wrong, but I changed that to point to the group.  —jakarr 23:38, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

message: The page says "He also invented the slipmat."
This is very unlikely, it was a device in use on music radio stations since the early 60s, also called a turntable mat, whereby the DJ would line the record up, that is, find the start of the record, wind back a bit and hold the mat so the record was stationary and at the right moment let the mat go so everthing was timed correctly and the record would come in at the required moment. Sometimes the needle would jump or the record wasn't wound back enough and the record could be heard getting up to speed this was called 'wowed in'as the listner heard the record slowly starting.
I souced a pic but I can't find a way of showing it - but if you google "BBC Radio 1 60s" (eventually) you will find several pictures of the jocks holding a piece of felt with the record on. There were other mats that sat proud of the turntable that you could pinch between your fingers and lt go at the right moment.
Here is a link to a photograph of DJ Tony Blackburn holding a slip mat/turntable mat.
