Sonic gold. One of the three absolute must-haves from the Soulquarians, in my view (the other two being Mama's Gun and Voodoo). Beautiful pressing, too. The end of the era when musicians were given unlimited time and resources to create. These are the sorts of albums that result from that setup.

So, I'm a little baffled at the moment. My CD copy of Like Water for Chocolate indicates on the back cover that the version of "Geto Heaven" is "Geto Heaven Remix" with Macy Gray. Thankfully it's actually the original "Geto Heaven Part II" version with D'Angelo. I must have a rare misprint, maybe?

Not sure what "edited" means, but this version definitely isn't clean haha

This is no doubt one of Common’s best albums. A classic in the golden age of hip hop. I purchased the cd in 2000 when it was released and played it constantly at home in the car and the gym. A full body of work in deed.
This pressing on vinyl sounds excellent sonically, noise free and dynamic. I highly recommend this pressing.

I believe this UPC for the clean version listed here is incorrect. This would mean its the same as the explicit version. It may be 008811238025

Really happy with this pressing, a lot of life with nice base. A little surface noise here and there but then I got this in used condition and it's 24 years old.

just received from Juno - I can confirm this has the far inferior Macy Gray version of Geto Heaven... DAMN

Jay Dee has producer credits on 11 out of 16 tracks, all fire. Vinyl sounds great as well, deep clean bass.
