FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes. It is the 1994 UK first edition of the maxi on Jive with catalogue number JIVE T 359.

What does Media NM- / Cover VG+ mean, and what is WOL?
NM- (Near Mint minus) means the record is close to new with at most minimal signs of play. VG+ (Very Good Plus) means the sleeve shows light wear. WOL stands for "writing on label": there is a pen mark on the label. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.

What is special about the UK maxi?
Besides the R. Kelly remixes, side B has two "UK Flavour" mixes by Tosh that are not on the US maxi.

Do you have more Aaliyah records?
