Today I received the last Public Enemy sealed vinyl I’ve been searching for, and that’s the 1989 banger “Fight The Power”. Kind of fitting because this song is the one that first got me into PE a couple years ago.

Nobody could accurately calculate the current population of sealed copies of this record, but I’m guessing the count is relatively low because this is the only sealed copy I’ve seen posted to eBay or Discogs in 2 years.

A timeless piece of art such as this deserves to be catalogued and preserved for history, and that’s why I’ll be sending it to VMG for grading.

Really excited to see that @Vintage_Media_Grading has launched a population report of their graded vinyl. Looking forward to seeing the Public Enemy pop report build out for the records I graded.

Starting out with a cool item… the original U.S. 1990 record with the white censored cover. Overall substantially rarer than the uncensored cover, with only 614 “haves” in Discogs collections, and a nice Have-to-Want ratio of 614:544. Vinyl is about a VMG 8 with some gloss loss, label has mild spindle marking, and the cover would be a lower VMG grade due to water staining, severely impacting eye appeal. Would be worth grading due to rarity though! @Vintage_Media_Grading
