MF Doom Operation Doomsday Original 1999 Fondle 'Em FE-86.
This is the original Fondle 'Em record from 1999. No Barcode. Not a reissue. According to Discogs, this is one of a pressing of just 3000 made in 1999.
Record purchased new by seller (me) at Fat Beats in NYC in 1999. Sleeve is in strong shape. See images for light crease on one corner, and some fraying at corners. Glossy vinyl plays beautifully.
If 3,000 of these were printed back in 1999, I can say with some authority that there can't possibly be more than 2,998 still in existence: One was lost to flooding in Superstorm Sandy when my best friend's basement-level apartment in Red Hook, Brooklyn flooded. A few years later, his brother lost his copy when his puppy bit right through the sleeve and record.
All of my records – this one included - have been carefully stored upright in poly bags for about twenty years, and not played in that time. I had to leave them behind those years ago. I’ve finally reunited with my records but have decided to sell them to help pay my son’s college tuition. I'm selling lots of 1990's hip-hop. Nothing is newer than year 2001.
