referencing Fear Of A Black Planet (LP, Album) 466281 1
I bought this pressing 35 years ago and the only thing to complain it had to be a double album. Never the less the sound is good . -
I don't know if this is a gear issue with the bad reviews. I'm listening to it right now with VPI Prime turntable, Sumiko Blackbird lo output cart into a Manley Chinook phono and a Sansui 9090DB stereo, and I cannot even describe how good it sounds. Like listening to these songs for the first time. Very clear and loud with fantastic warm and smooth bass.
-
My copy also shows 262004E1/A in addition to
10-98258 / before the runout described above.
Anyone else see this on their copy? Thx -
Is this version uncensored? I know it doesn't have the Parental Advisory Label, unless it's hiding behind the Back to Black sticker. I'm hoping it.

Does anyone the reason who/why an MC changed to a plain white side-A label on "Public Enemy - Fear Of A Black Planet"(r177915) ? AND
has also written his name on"Wee Papa Girl Rappers - The Beat, The Rhyme, The Noise"(r255393) -

This sounds fantastic! Music split over 3 discs, giving grooves more space. It also helps that the vinyl is quiet.
-
This pressing is amazing. Anyone who says it's flat, needs to clean their ears.

I’m impressed with this pressing. Don’t hesitate to pick up this version -
Edited 6 months agoU people realy cant listen to music cause u think something recorded 50 years ago should blow your hi fi systems. This pressing sounds awesome its just quiet....volume up and its banging...your ears are lifeless...
-
