I would be all over Legend of the Liquid Swords at $23. At $33? I’m thinking I don’t really need it my collection.
This price hike is actually really beneficial to my collecting the more I think about it. There’s LOADS of previous ROTM’s that I never would have even considered picking up for $33. And if I’m not willing to dish out that much, is it even something I really need to have?

Gza's post on medium about the lost art of lyricism talks about how MCs don't tell stories anymore and he quotes some lines from Legend of the Liquid Sword to prove his point...that kinda counts as public displays of consternation right?

I think there are 1LP versions and 2LP versions. The 2LP is the way to go. I know the alternate Marvel cover isn’t to everyone’s taste (I like it personally) but the 2LP on colored wax is pretty good quality wise and can be had for a reasonable price.

Get On Down have pressed a lot of these over the last 10 years. They even did a really cool chessboard collectors set (I got the cd version not vinyl) but Get On Downs pressings are notoriously bad. I have heard from folk the Marvel variant sounds excellent if you don't mind the alternative artwork (as cool as it is, as much as i like marvel, personally prefer to have the OG artwork)
This pressing might be the one to check out

I will say, GoD’s notoriously bad rep seems more recent - like the last couple of years. I have some from years back that sound good. The box set is an example. It sounds great and has instrumentals too. The actual chess set would’ve been cooler if the pieces were“Shaolin” inspired but they’re dinky pieces.
The Marvel is good. Cool lenticular cover. My thing about a lot of hip hop is that vinyl is cool as a collector, but if you have a decent set up the CD is gonna sound just as good (and sometimes better). And, yes, I have it on CD too

Yeah i agree. I dont have an amazing setup. Probably over 90% of my vinyl is hiphop too so I am in no way an audiophile at all. I dont have or put in enough listening hours to justify an expensive set up so what i have works for me. I just like to collect & spin shit sometimes but there is certain pressings I've got that have been absolutely awful and I've hated too. Would hate to point someone in the direction of those lol
