FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes. This is the 1987 European first edition on Elektra with catalogue number 960 723-1.

What does Media NM- / Cover VG+ mean?
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. There is also a very small spot on the front where a sticker was removed. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.

Do you have more Grandmaster Flash records?
Yes, for example Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five – The Message or Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five (1983). More titles are in our Hip Hop collection.
