![]() The back of the jacket has it’s own set of whacked-out changes. I’m not exactly sure why they would change the artwork in this way but it is what it is. The photo they used is actually from the 2013 BET Hip Hop Awards. It closely mimics the original photo enough for this case. The clothes and jewelry are all obviously modern. Second, the image of the group is clearly not from 1995. It’s not terrible looking and it’s something that’s done a lot for imports and reissues, especially when the original artwork files have been lost or destroyed. This leads me to believe that the people behind this pressing didn’t have the original artwork and had to resort to a high-resolution scan of a 1995 pressing. First, looking closely at the background it appears all the little details and stuff are there but you can also see some halftone patterns emerging. Only after I left the store did I realize that the image on the front is not exactly “correct.” The background of the image seems to be mostly correct and intact from the original but the group shot of the guys is not even close to being the same. I grabbed that sumbitch out of the rack and threw it up on the counter. I immediately knew that this was what I was looking for. ![]() The first thing I saw when browsing the racks at Dave’s Records was the top of the Bone Thugs logo. Most of the info I contained is from my own observations, research and scouring a bunch of shady vinyl sales sites. I can’t even find reliable information about the version that I own as it’s not on clear vinyl. There really isn’t a lot of information out there available for this pressing other than there are 1,000 copies pressed on clear vinyl. This is a 2014 import version from the Netherlands. This album has an almost permanent status in my rotation and when I found this release at a local record shop I scooped it up without hesitation.īefore I get too far into the images and whatnot let me point out that this is not an original release of the album. While I may be mostly known as a guy who listens to metal/rock I actually listened to this album yesterday as I walked to/from the grocery store. One of my favorite albums of all time gets represented today for Vinyl Wednesday.
