Album Info

Label: Relativity

Unofficial repress (circa early 2000), probably of UK origin that had been distributed to some of the main Hip Hop retailers around that time & sold under the false pretence of being an American import.

The unofficial pressing has 88561 1205 A1 (without the hyphen) etched on side A & 88561 - 1205 - B1 (with the hyphen) etched on side B, it also lacks the runout etching of F/W RCE which is found on the original

The picture cover appears to be identical to the original however the sky has a greenish / grey hue with the image overall being more dull in appearance & slightly blurred with less definition, such as the creases in the clothes worn by Fat Joe being not as clear as it is on the original, some photocopier scan lines are also noticeable. On the back cover the black silhouette of the figure holding a smoking gun is more faded & with some visible scan lines present. The record label is also identical to the original apart from where the copyright print circles the label at the bottom, you can see that the type starts parallel to the top of the Side A/B & catalogue number type on each side rather than it starting just at the bottom of it, also the ellipses don't run through the Relativity logo at the top as it does on the original.

From the album "Represent" on Relativity/Violator (1175).
