Paid In Full

LP (Item 5199) 4th & Broadway, 1987 — Condition: Good
Also available
Eric B & Rakim — Paid In Full (2LP version) ... LP 32.99
Paid In Full, indeed! Eric B & Rakim's seminal debut still pays off in so many ways, and it was such a vital link between the party rockin' style of the old school and the terse, hard-hitting beats and rhymes of the nascent school, we can't even come up with the words for the praise it's due. Essential would be an understatement, it's really part of the bedrock for some of the best hip hop to come, very little of which could match it! Includes the immortal "I Ain't No Joke", "Eric B Is In The Cut", "I Know You Got Soul", "Move The Crowd", "Paid in Full", "Chinese Arithmetic", and "Eric B. Is President".  © 1996-2023, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Good

  • A record that you'd buy to play, cheap, but which you wouldn't buy for collecting.
  • Will have marks across all parts of the playing surface, and will most likely play with surface noise throughout. May have some other significant flaws, such as residue, or a track that skips.
  • In most cases, a poor quality copy of a very difficult to find record.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Music Of Life (UK), 1988. Very Good+
11 different beats and a track of vocal stab for scratching, all produced by Simon Harris, so it has a very 80s feel to it. One of the original "DJ Tool" or battle records. Titles include "Dancefloor Justice", "Go Go Steaming & Cranking", "Rough Neck ... LP, Vinyl record album

Nipsey Hussle

Victory Lap
Atlantic, 2018/2021. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold
A crossover classic from the late Nipsey Hussle – the kind of record that should have marked the beginning of a big new wave of fame, had he not been taken from us all too soon! There's a nicely crispy vibe here – both in the compact production, which never sounds too stripped-down, ... LP, Vinyl record album

Shady/Interscope, 2002. Near Mint- 2LP
How 50 Cent manages to stand out as such a genuinely exciting MC is in such a crowded field of street hip hop around the time this breakthrough came out is as mysterious as it is beside the point.

Melvin Sparks

Sparks!
Prestige, 1970. Very Good+
A killer – one of the best from Prestige during the runaway classic years of the early 70s! Melvin Sparks is a genius guitarist, with a talent as rich as that of Grant Green, who's probably his most immediate precursor. He'd played in the groups of Lou Donaldson and Jack McDuff during the ... LP, Vinyl record album

A beautiful album of bossa tunes – recorded in Italy by the team of Toquinho and Vinicius De Moraes, with vocals by the lovely Ornelia Vanoni – an Italian singer who holds the sort of place usually reserved for Brazilian vocalists on other projects by the pair! Vanoni's presence on the ... LP, Vinyl record album
Elektra (Brazil), 1980. Very Good+
A great little album by Elis Regina – recorded for Elektra, but very much in the spirit of her classic work for Philips in the 70s.
