Notes
The debut album from the Jungle Brothers, released November 8, 1988. The album was largely recorded without the use of a sampler (with the exception of the tracks "On The Run", "What's Going On", "Because I Got It Like That", and "I'm Gonna Do You"). Instead, they would lay down a beat straight off the records they were using as source material, in the words of Afrika Baby Bam: "looping it around by hand, eight bars at a time, until you had six minutes on tape, so there'd be enough music to do your rhymes before it ran out...I just had one copy of each record. That's the way most of the album was done." In addition to being the first Jungle Brothers album, this was noteworthy for being Q-Tip's first appearance on LP, on the track "Black Is Black". He had previously only rapped (in his debut appearance) on the Jungle Brothers b-side track "The Promo". Both "The Promo" and the Jungle Brothers' smash hip-house hit "I'll House You" were added to subsequent pressings of the album.

breathtaking release, great sound. had my doubts due to the colored vinyl, but its really deep, loud and clear sounding

According to Discogs the US did not have a CD release of this album until 2010. I find this hard to believe.

The release date has been removed but I'm confused; if this is not the actual pressing from 1988, did they not press this on CD in the U.S. until much later? There is no other U.S. pressing listed on Discogs until the 2010 re-release.
Acknowledged that there are no copyright dates or other indicators on the pressing date of this particular release; but shocked if this was the only U.S. pressing, but made available until after 1994 (due to the disc's presence of SID codes in the matrix).
I have a different recollection of this compact disc being available for sale in U.S. record stores around 1990 as their 2nd album "Done By The Forces Of Nature" was blowing up. Therefore, I think this may have actually been pressed in or around 1988. Either that, or all copies for sale in U.S. record stores in the early 90s were imports, which is possible.

if there is anyone out there that can point me into the direction of the dirty explicit version of girl ill house you by jungle brothers 1988 i will really appreciate it it as i cant find it through google for years,all i have is a very low quality cassette.
