FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
No. The album was released in 1996. This double LP is a 2017 European reissue by Columbia.

Which cover versions are on the album?
“Killing Me Softly With His Song”, known from Roberta Flack, and Bob Marley’s “No Woman, No Cry”. Both became major hit singles.

What does “New & factory sealed” mean?
The record is unplayed and still in the manufacturer’s original shrink wrap. We do not open it, so there is no separate grading of record and sleeve. Our grading system for used records is explained on our Vinyl Grading page.

Do you have more Fugees records?
We currently have no other Fugees album in stock. More 1990s hip hop classics are in our Hip Hop & Rap collection.
