My copy also shows 262004E1/A in addition to
10-98258 / before the runout described above.
Anyone else see this on their copy? Thx- Is this version uncensored? I know it doesn't have the Parental Advisory Label, unless it's hiding behind the Back to Black sticker. I'm hoping it.

Does anyone the reason who/why an MC changed to a plain white side-A label on "Public Enemy - Fear Of A Black Planet"(r177915) ? AND
has also written his name on"Wee Papa Girl Rappers - The Beat, The Rhyme, The Noise"(r255393)- Edited 2 months ago

This sounds fantastic! Music split over 3 discs, giving grooves more space. It also helps that the vinyl is quiet. - This pressing is amazing. Anyone who says it's flat, needs to clean their ears.

I’m impressed with this pressing. Don’t hesitate to pick up this version- Edited 4 months agoU people realy cant listen to music cause u think something recorded 50 years ago should blow your hi fi systems. This pressing sounds awesome its just quiet....volume up and its banging...your ears are lifeless...
Why oh why was the first side split not put directly after Terrordome?!
referencing Fear Of A Black Planet (LP, Album) 466281 1
Great sounding pressing with good depth and ballance. Yes yes yes- Low volume, i would pass on this one if i knew
