FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
No. The original came out in the US in 1997 on Def Jam (314 536 389-1). This is the 2017 European reissue on 180 g vinyl.

What does 180 g mean?
The records are heavier than standard pressings (about 120–140 g). They sit more firmly on the platter and are less prone to warping.

"Never Seen Before", "Da Joint" and "Richter Scale", all on side A.
