    The one reason why I'd never sell this record is called Daytona 500. That loop just doesn't age or wear off. A must-play in my hip-hop set for a couple of years blending with ATCQ's 'Scenario' and Kinderzimmer's 'Gegenteil'.

      There are sellers on here claiming this comes with a printed inner, but that is not true. This is a gatefold, and never ever came with a printed inner-anything for any format.

      The closest it ever came to a printed inner was the poster that came with the 2010 GOD reissue.

        I just got my copy from Amazon. It looks like the chicken and broccoli but it has the actual cover. It is GET 51505-LP. I don't see it listed here.

          My personal best of Wu-Tang first wave LPs rating:

          1. 36 Chambers - this was the most angry and innovative plus it contains the most hits.

          2. Ironman - the soul chamber - the best RZA beats, only ONE weaker track (Black Jesus).

          3. Liquid Swords - best lyrics - works best as a concept album - colder beats and feel - this is timeless and strong!

          After that
          4. Only Built 4 Cubin Linx - Rainy Days & the 12"s, very strong LP.
          5. ODB Album - Strong LP if in the right "mood".
          6. Method Man - don't want to diss Meth, he has a Dope voice.
