Seen here is a sealed CD demo of Public Enemy’s 1991 single “By the Time I Get to Arizona.” The song was Chuck D’s request (demand?) that Arizona formally recognize Martin Luther King Jr Day. The middle of the song features a beat changeover that’s haunting, militant, and timeless. I place this one among the top three in PE’s catalogue.

Best of both worlds! Absolutely love Molly in all her films and the Beastie Boys are my all time favorite hip-hop group of all time. Found out they used to had a thing with each other in the last 80s so this photo was captured I believe in California on their way to a movie. It is a type one photo so I have Going to PSA here soon to get slabbed up for better protection.

Released in 1990, this CD served as the grand finale companion to the “First Performance.” It contains music heard through the series, including character songs, battle themes, background music, and extended versions of the opening and closing themes.

This CD also came with a printed, folded lyric sheet that included exclusive art and even a comic « Usa Hime vs Otama! » 「ウサ姫 vs オタマ！」by character designer, Noritaka Suzuki (also called TENKO), as well as a collectable card.

❗A limited reprint of both performance CDs will be bundled with select copies of the 2026 Blu-Ray box release, offering new listeners a chance to experience these vintage soundtracks for the first time in decades.

• The first of the two original soundtrack albums released for the TV series (1990–91).

• A mix of BGM cues, the TV-size themes, and a treasure trove of image songs and short comedy-drama skits performed by the cast.

• Features tracks for Yattarō, Pururun, and Sukashii along with assorted character pieces and interludes—very much a “variety show” album that captures the tone of the series.

• The CD came with a printed lyric sheet (with illustrations), and a small collector card. CDs on the second-hand market are unlikely to include these.

Reprint news: a limited reissue of both soundtrack albums is planned to be included with the deluxe Blu-ray box, scheduled for release next year. If you’ve never been able to hear the discs, keep an eye on that set—this will be the easiest way to get them again.

Counting Crows are still my all-time favorite band. Thankfully, they’ve been producing amazing music for the last 30 years and tour regularly. I’ve seen them over 30 times in concert and will continue to see them every time they tour if I can. I have nearly every one of their CDs signed by the entire band or at least lead singer and songwriter Adam Duritz.
