    A true masterpiece. Both discs are nearly perfectly pressed and the mastering is truly incredible. On “Bag Lady,” the the bassline is so well defined, timed and separated that is has a combination of devastating depth and dare I say delicacy that I’ve only heard from a few recordings through my system. One of those records that is a true experience to listen to!!

      This is a beautifully balanced, detailed and rich pressing !

        A decent pressing, though a bit CD-like. Compared to the 2014 mov edition it has deeper bass but on the whole isn't as warm as mov.

            great LP from Erykah Badu, the red LPs look nice and sounds fantastic, a big tall sound that is also airy, warm and has a lot of depth, powerful drums , great stereo effects with her voice, the LPs are really crankable, sounds like an analog recording and mix, the laquers were cut by Ray Janos @ Sterling Sound, both records are dead quiet - the only surface noise comes from the samples, no skipping problems that people have with the MOV reissue, only a tiny amount of sibilance in the track C4 In love with you, i bought the record in 2000 and i think it was limited edition, i paid for the 2LP 40DM=20€, sounds cheap compared to nowadays but was really expensive for the year 2000, for the the MOS Def & Talib Kweli are Black Star (from 1998) as pictured above you had to pay like 13-14€
            the only problem was and is the missing cover
