This record is very nicely pressed, as many others have pointed out in their reviews. In fact, it is so good that if you are playing it on any decent quality soundsystem (such as my mam's Sanyo GCD949U Stack System), and close your eyes, you will feel as though you are Sean "Puff" Diddly, and that you are sitting right there in the booth with The Notorious BIG Poppa by your side, as he spits his wickedest, most venomous flows!!

What can I say? As we can expect from Vinyl Me, Please:
-The jacket construction quality blows every other record in my collection out of the water (except the other VMP jackets)
-The records themselves are nice and heavy, and the design is gorgeous & turned out really nice
-Noise floor is next to silent
-Every song is aurally immaculate
There's 0 reason not to buy this.

Fantastic pressing. Music is deep but present and immediate. Great mastering job. And a great job on the jacket and sleeves. Really a top version, you want this in your collection .

The sound on this pressing is phenomenal. Hearing the album with this sound quality took me back to when I first heard the album. It is so textured and full of depth. Finally this classic and potentially best hip-hop album of all-time has gotten the sound treatment it deserves.

Does anyone have quantity info on this pressing? VMP's website doesn't list how many copies were pressed...

Everything about this pressing is top notch. Down to the print that came with it and the variant back cover of the record sleeve. I did have some surface noise on The What, but the rest of the record plays perfectly. I even managed to get the recipe card that came with it. If you have a chance to get this, I highly recommend it.

How this is one of the least expensive Vinyl Me Please releases on the secondary market is beyond me.
This is a beautiful pressing, album with restored samples for one of the first times ever, awesome colors, beautiful packaging..
This album should easily be going for $100.00 in my opinion.

This is an absolutely amazing record to own. The pressing is so clean even my vintage player can truly capture the essence of the remastering as it should be. Any Biggie fan should own this record.
