Reviews
This pressing sounds absolutely amazing. But mine came hella warped, but it doesn’t affect the sound at all. Does not skip either. Really happy to finally have this in my collection! A hip hop essential.
Cartridge: Pick it S2 Ortofon
I just bought a sealed copy of this LP with the same barcode. However, the runout entry's are different. Can anyone provide any insight?- Hoping someone can provide some insight
I purchased what was presented to me as a 2015 release of this and was sealed
I opened it to find the sleeves all seem legit
When I looked at the record sticker one disc one it seems legit
Disc 2 has the marvel logo on it with different serial numbers and it's black
From my understanding the 2018 version is the marvel sea glass one
How did I end up with that sticker on a black vinyl from a 2015 version when this came out in 2018
Is it possible I got a bootleg? 
If anyone has the Disc 2 to exchange with the Disc 1… Please let me know :)
Apparently, there is some copies where the second LP is missing, that was the case with my copy (which was sealed)... Pay attention to the weight of yours before buying if you find it in a record store
How is mine a 2016 pressing but has the 2018 marvel edition label on side D? It looks the same but just has the marvel logo.- No issues. Clear sound. No regrets on this one. Buy it.
Edited 2 years agoThis pressing sounds absolutely great. Super clear, no sibilance or static.
edit: there is some static towards the end of Cold World. The rest of the LP sounds great though.
Overall, it sounds great. Side D on my copy has a Guns and Roses label instead.
