Yup, but that’s kinda Storf’s MO when it comes to giving clues unfortunately. The good news is it’s been confirmed that 1993 Hip-Hop Essential will be a 2xLP pressing. I was kind of afraid they would do something foolish and repress either 36 Chambers or MM as a single LP but now on fancy colored wax.
Back in the day I would be super excited find out what the related exclusives would be for either ATCQ or Wu-Tang but they really offer related exclusives anymore unfortunately.

i guess i might just have to sell the original 36 chambers if its that... if not then I got the 80 bucks worth out of the way... I'll listen to deloused today and see if I want it and if not I'll sell it to one of you for 30 bucks (possibly as a flat rate including shipping)... i do want the bill faye album since I did really enjoy what I heard of it

Bill Fay had a 4 Men With Beards US release a few years ago but if VMP is gonna ignore Midnight Marauders 2LP simply because it’s a Euro release, I guess they could also ignore 4MWB on account they’re absolute shit and everyone should pretend they don’t exist.

I also have an OG 36 Chambers but will pick up the VMP one as well if it does turn out to be this.
I have a few OG's alongside reissues and it's sometimes nice to be able to switch between them. It's not always a case of one pressing sounding better than the other, but one pressing sounding different.

Yeah, I've got the numbered coloured MOV press and the 7 inch box set of 36 Chambers... I mean okay fine I'll get another because this is one of my favorite albums ever but... CMOON MIDNIGHT MARAUDERS

That Bill Fay album is really good. This could be one of the strongest 3 month runs in Essentials for some time. That’s if it is these 3 albums

I don’t know, even though they are garbage they are still a US release so I don’t think that’s it

You never know with Storf... we’ve been totally thrown off because of bad clues more than once.

I'm having a hard time justifying the cost if they do 36 Chambers! As much as I should upgrade my cassette copy I can't see it being much of an upgrade especially at that price! I'm having trouble with MM as well but seeing as that's the best Tribe record I really should have a copy and might as well be a quality one!
Still holding out hope the 71 album is Mark Fry Dreaming with Alice...

I agree but I’m prepared to be proven wrong and I am positive it will be the definitive pressing! Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) is without a doubt a top 10 hip-hop album of all-time, so any upgrade is priceless for me! And just having a definitive VMP pressing of 36 Chambers is
for me too! Fucking love 36 Chambers so much; really does need the 2LP treatment! Such a precious album!

Oh I won't be mad, I'll sell my numbered MOV in favor of this one assuming it's better. But I really hope it's MM.I agree but I’m prepared to be proven wrong and I am positive it will be the definitive pressing!

Mmmmm and I’m also kind of hoping it’s Enta Da Stage too! It’s hard actually because I love Midnight Marauders but I love Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) even more! They are both top 20 hip-hop albums of all-time for me!
Enter The Wu-Tang is around my 5th/6th favourite hip-hop album ever and Midnight Marauders is around my 13th/14th favourite hip-hop album of all-time! Both are just incredible albums!

comus and wu tang clan seem to be a lot less interesting to me (because one I already own and the other is just... too weird if this first song is anything).. having relistened to mars volta i did actually enjoy it pretty well so that's a go but I would only really go hard for it if it was bill fay and tribe
Really hoping for Tribe instead of Wu-Tang Clan but it’s probably the Wu. The album is never going to sound good so not sure what the point is. Hope I’m proven wrong. Plus I love MM but never bought a vinyl copy since the only affordable copies are shitty reissues.
