I actually sold this on to get the original pressing because I wasn't happy with the plain sleeve. Big mistake! The pressing on this sounds way better than the OG, so I am now hunting to get it back again 🤦🏻😆 -
What are the matrices for this release? Wondering if it's the same as the ultra rare official 1995 instrumental 2LP. -
Great pressing IMO, great bass definition, clarity and volume. Buy it if you can live in without the cover and packaging. -
I stand by MOV’s product. I have a couple releases of theirs and they all sound ridiculously good. Each instrument and sound is so clear. Gross copy. Def grab it if u can

Dope album, can it be all so simple sounds trash. -
referencing Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... (2×LP, Album, Reissue, Remastered, Purple Swirl Translucent) GET 51295
I think it sounds great, but the packaging is a joke. I'm tempted to try and find a used copy of this album just to have a proper jacket to store it in. -

Sounds like ass, crazy sibilance all over here, definitely avoid this one, wish there would be at least one good pressing of this record -
Edited 9 months agoThe inner groove distortion is insane on my copy, 5 stars for the music but 1 star for the pressing

This sounds excellent, They did a good job with this , I’ve never heard the other earlier pressings to compare it but no complaints here except the scuffs and marks in the vinyl although I bought this new and sealed -

Absolute 1st rate RZA production, one of the first 'Wu' solo offshoots & a BANGER.
Choc full o nuts, bursting in fact; but the track that gets the rewind every single time without fail is 'KNUCKLEHEADZ'. That drone bass intro blows me away, you know something BIG's coming, then... BANG BANG BANG BANG!!! & the shit gets very real indeed as Raekwon & co spit their finest over RZA's direct, no messing, skippy, funky, nasty beats.
Its that good even just the old cop car siren marking the second phase of the track gives me goosebumps.
Makes you wanna go steal a television in broad daylight, sell it, buy some crack, get incarcerated for a few years, mess up the biggest guy in there, push some hard ass weights, get your term extended on bad behaviour, come out in 4 years, bang this one straight on the platter & go do it all again 😉
DISCLAIMER FOR THE PC BRIGADE: It's called humour, it helps with the daily pain of living in a world lacking in it. Go look it up...
