Which versions are on the record?
Side A has the Scar Mix and side AA the Club Mix of "Street Tuff". The AA marking instead of B means both sides were meant as equal lead sides.

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. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.
