Notes

Jacket made in Canada.

This release is similar to Run-DMC - King Of Rock but does not have "Mastering by Frankford/Wayne New York" stamped in the runout. This release is also similar to Run-DMC - King Of Rock in that it is pressed by Hauppauge Record Manufacturing Ltd.; that is indicated in this release by a ↔ (double arrow) stamp rather than the ᐉ (triangle on its side with a dot inside) stamp on Run-DMC - King Of Rock.

My VG copy matches variant 1. Sound quality is fine and is full range and has clarity, depth and energy.

Snagged an original pressing for 10 bucks on the 'bay. Sounds surprisingly crisp! Very enjoyable! There's just something special about hip-hop on wax.
