Boogie Down Productions – By All Means Necessary

Just got a copy in VG/VG+ condition. Hardly any surface noise but it is very bright and trebly sounding. Not sure if that’s from the condition or the pressing, but figured it was worth noting here

My copy has a lot of rotational surface noise during the first song on Side 2. This type of noise really ruins a record like this, where the music is frequently punctuated by silence. I will request another copy. I do think the record sounds good and it's very enjoyable music.

Fantastic pressing of this 1988 classic pressed on orange vinyl with the original blue Jive label.

My only issue is that you need to drop the needle with surgical precision because there is almost no deadwax on the outeredges.

C'mon VMP! Where the heck is the printed innersleeve like the OG!? Here, it's just a generic black inner.

Audio is extremely compressed on this version. Very low volume. Comparable to 64kbps mp3's. Always been disappointed in my copy.

Watch out, there is an unofficial release of this reissue. The booklet‘s artwork colour is blurry and oversaturated. Also, it happens to be a CDr.

How is the quality on this one? Does anyone have an opinion?

Any 'Golden' era vinyl collection is incomplete absent By All Means, BDP's 2nd LP. A must have classic that continues to stands the test of time.

This albums is one of the best of the golden era! Good dynamic press but there is some pops, haven't cleaned it tho

Great CD reissue. Unfortunately the track listing of the bonus cuts is incorrect. Switch the My Philosophy with the I'm #1 tracks.
