INI - Center of Attention LP hip hop rap pete rock vinyl record
INI - Center of Attention LP (Pete Rock produced) One of the earliest releases. See details below. Record is a strong VG (grading conservatively).
This semi-legit release surfaced at the same time as the instrumental LP and includes the highly sought after track "Keep On" and several instrumental interludes that weren't included on the BBE release for some reason. On the other hand, this record doesn't contain the tracks "Kross Roads", "No More Words", "Mind Over Matter" and "Props" which featured on most other pressings.
A1 and B10 are bits from the intro used on the BBE release.
A5, B1 and B8 are bits from the track "Meccalicious" which was released on a limited 7" by hiphopsite.com
Runout reads "INI-A-1" on Side A and "INI-B-RE-1" on Side B
