Bring The Noise

Defunkd’s exclusive collection of vintage t-shirts for sale at reasonably exorbitant prices.


Item #32: Bring The Noise Spectrum Jam

Era: 1980s

Circulation: Rarer than all these guys being in one room.

P.E, Doug E, Big Daddy, Rakim, Eric B. and Moe Dee (whose name is spelled with a C.) But this epic jam is somewhat of a mystery given we can’t tie it to any specific date. We’re assuming it was held at the now demolished Spectrum stadium in Philly sometime between 1987 and 1989. The Spectrum was host to some of the most legendary rap combo concerts ever, check them out here. Yet a review of their concert schedule doesn’t bring back any hits on this exact line-up.

Brand: Health Knit

Measurements: 17.5″ (pit-to-pit) 27.5 (rear collar-bottom seam)

Condition: Great vintage condition.

Variables: Print is off center. Professional repair job near collar (above right.) Faint marks lower rear – hard to see and impossible to photograph because of vibrant red.

Price: $300.00 (includes expedited shipping w/tracking and insurance in U.S. and Canada)

    It could just mean they all played at the Spectrum at one point or another, maybe put together to celebrate the venue. Or highlights of the upcoming concert season.
