Are these tracks instrumental or different than the album versions in any way?

low volume, does not sound impressive. As others have said, a 2 LP reissue is overdue.

Hopefully the person reading this will be far enough into the future that they have finally released a decent 2x press of this album.

is the lenticular cover removable? i'd love to hang them as art, but the 3d effect is not really legible

30 years anniversary on this exact date. The first 2 PE albums revolutionized the distinctive and noisy identity of Public Enemy's sonic brilliance but 'Fear Of A Black Planet' came over as a completely coherent and conceptualized album. Bomb Squad's production is out of this World and listening to this masterpiece is like reading your favorite book. You simply get drawn into the perfect narrative that the entire team surrounding Public Enemy laid out on this album. Fight The Power!

Miserable sounding reissue, distortion but mastered at a very low volume. Avoid

17 décembre 2020Otherwise the sound is very clean with no surface noise. But it is heavily compressed and sounds like it was ripped off of YouTube. As others have noted, this would definitely benefit from a 2 LP pressing due to the length of the album.
