Mine has all the signs of this original; grainy cover, identical barcode & labels, superb sound… but no insert and no fwDS on the runout, just the RWK1159. Could it be anything else? Too good for a bootleg.
-
I have two sides A and B and I'm looking for the other missing disk, C/D. If anyone has two copies of the second vinyl and is looking for a exchange, please let me know. I would like to have this album complete. -
I have two copies, both identical. Small runout on side 1 on both records, wider ring on side 2. No inserts, both have a small corner cut on the top of the spine side. Are these originals or the 06 boot?
-
For those curious the original pressing of this record smokes. One of my best sounding 90’s hip hop pressings. -
Do any of the original releases come without the “MOS DEF Black On Both Sides” sticker on the front cover sleeve itself?
-
my copy has the printed inner, but no fwDS in the matrix. 2 rings on the labels, the white parts on the labels look more yellow than in the pics ed. mine doesn't match this or the 2006 reissue though. RWK 1159 -
Edited 10 years agogot no printed sheet, barcode is the same cat# same,
think it is an reissue but cant find the right one. can anyone help
thx

I don't own this release but why is the album going for $40 when it seems like this is a pretty common album?
