Notes
The vinyl and CD versions of this album were released with green, red and black frames with the black one being the rarest. Each version depicts different characters in the background, a time capsule of relevant Hip Hop artists at the time.
In his review on allmusic.com John Bush summarizes: "A Tribe Called Quest's Midnight Marauders was commercially successful, artistically adept, and lyrically inventive; the album cemented their status as alternative rap's prime sound merchants, authors of the most original style since the Bomb Squad first exploded on wax."

Show All 116 Reviews- My copy is almost unlistenable because of heavy surface noise for the 3-4 first songs on both side. Bought new.

Just noticed that my copy has one side of the inner sleeve repeated on both inner sleeves, if that makes sense. There are two inner sleeves, one has the tracks for Record 1, the other has the tracks for Record 2, but both sleeves have the same design on the other side: they both show the woman painted in red and green, and neither has the band in front of the big clock.- This reissue is pretty much an exact replica of the OG release in '93: an hour's worth of music smashed onto one LP. The grooves are super thin, thus the dip in volume, stereo width, and bass response. Not sure why there hasn't been a double LP release. Maybe that's their 30th anniversary plan this year 🤞 but for now, cassette and CD are the way to go for this release.
- mine sounds pretty great. those complaining about surface noise might not realize that much of what they’re hearing is from the source material- not due to the pressing.
not the best packaging wise, but for a cheap and inexpensive package it’s not bad at all
Fluance RT82 with
Ortofon OM10 @ 1.5g
Technics SA-DX940 - My copy has a "Parental Advisory Explicit Content" sticker on the cover, and a "Made in Czech Republic" sticker on the rear. Plain paper sleeve. Sound is surprisingly crisp, good add for under twenty bucks.

My copy of this has the labels on disc 2 switched. Does anyone else have a similar mispress and does it warrant a separate release page? Thanks!- Finally found a nicely priced copy of this OG in the wild and picked it up. Surprised to say it sounds great for being on 1 LP. Might have to turn it up a tiny bit but really sounds great for so much music on each side.
- This was clearly cut from CD. Not a good version. Look for the original and you will hear a 100% improvement in quality, bass etc. Sad they let this one through QA.
- I’m not an “audiophile” so take my opinion with a grain.
My copy didn’t skip and, overall, was decent. There was a bit of surface noise on side one but even that became less noticeable after the first couple of tracks.
It was a bit on the quiet side so it didn’t bump the way I might’ve wanted it too but I’m satisfied with it overall. - My copy has “DMM SPI -“ in the runouts, not “DMM SP1 SPI -“ (with the double “SP1”) as mentioned in the other entry. But it definitely doesn’t have a “(u)” as this one here. Yet another repress version?
My copy plays rather punchy, not remarkably quiet (as in low volume), and it has some background noise, but nothing too distracting IMO. Thoughts, anyone? Peace!
