Really glad I purchased this Album quality pressing bass & vocals sound awesome & colour yellow De La Soul classic first Album funky jazzy Hip Hop tunes.
Boss_Rocka Dec 14, 2023
Solid RE of a mega level Hip Hop classic. Solid and quiet, and thumps when crunk. Killer package at a $35-45 price point. OG’s can break the bank but a good RE like this will make your month.
dogatadisco Nov 30, 2023
129 copies for sale on Discogs of an exclusive 100 copy limited run...hmmmmmm
porkpie_hat Jul 21, 2023
I picked up this and have to it that it is really well done. Great sonics, pressed well, my copy is perfectly flat. GZ has seriously upped their game. This is a seriously nice playing copy, despite it being coloured vinyl.

This is the BEST sounding reissue out of the 2023 run...at least compared to "De La Soul Is Dead" and "Buhloone Mindstate" (can't comment on the others); but goddamn does this one sound good. RIP Trugoy you genius.
WaitsUp Jun 12, 2023
Flat, clean vinyl. Good bass, although I don't have an original to compare to. Echoing everyone else, this really deserved a high quality gatefold.
DJFUNK2DJPHUNK May 5, 2023
Ilove the idee (repress with colored vinyl)

I have picture from de la soul of Me Myself and I

So in yellow that just fun

People talk about mastering garbage for vinyls colored !! Why Just Mastering and Pressing are about sound sheet

Wax not responsable of bad press + bad master

Arrived today, no gatefold sleeve ?
Photogravure of sleeve ? Don't understand reproof front sleeve (!???)
jsar Apr 18, 2023
Both discs warped like a bowl. what a surprise to everyone!
frank_martin Apr 14, 2023
This is the standard yellow reissue, they just put a numbered sticker and sell like an exclusive numbered edition.
Sounds like label scams buyers...OMG!?! What a bad idea!
