I was able to get my grubby paws on a sealed original press vinyl copy of Public Enemy’s groundbreaking 1988 album “It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back”.

This album contains a handful of timeless songs and utilizes the classic PE production style that left their imprint on hip-hop. Holding this really does feel like holding a fine art print of a master. Looking forward to grading it soon.

A couple days late tribute, but still…

RIP Glen Hansard

Pickups from my local record store! Dude has the goods! “Groovy baby”

So much stuff! Sometimes I wonder if im just hoarding. Then I realize…of course I am LOL

After two years of scoping out eBay and Discogs, I was finally able to land a sealed original press vinyl copy of Public Enemy’s 1989 album “Fear of a Black Planet” in great condition and for a very reasonable price.

The next step is to send this vinyl off to VMG for grading. Public Enemy’s music is art as much as it is music, and this album deserves to be encapsulated and displayed like a classic painting.
