Artist: The Geto Boys

Title: The Geto Boys

Format: Vinyl LP

Year: 1990

Label: Def American Recordings

Cover: VG to VG+ some wear on the corners

Vinyl: VG. Nice copy, would easily pass as VG+ but being cautious due to some light crackle in quiet places and light "hairline" scratches. No deep scratches or scuffs.

I'm actually excited to list this, knowing that someone is going to be very happy! This is the rare and impossible to find early press which contains the original version of "Gangster Of Love." - originally sampling "The Joker" by the Steve Miller Band. The story goes that the group were given a cease and desist for uncleared samples and then replaced it with the more common "Sweet Home Alabama" version. This is also not the same version that is on the "Grip It" album (where Scarface raps the last verse), making this one of the rarest records in hip-hop history. Don't sleep on this one as it may not come up again!

This album is incredibly explicit and not suitable for minors.
