Genius GZA Liquid Swords The Chess Box 4 LP Vinyl Edition / RZA Wu-Tang Clan

Quadruple Vinyl – Boxed Set – Includes Full Size Chess Pieces And Board! Item is new but not sealed, the box  is excellent but is not mint as its not sealed but, its new and unplayed. GZA’s ‘Liquid Swords’ in its most deluxe treatment ever, a hard board box set with magnetic clasp containing the entire original album and complete instrumentals across four discs, as well as in depth full colour liner notes with contributions from GZA himself, inner jackets and dust sleeves with original artwork, and even a complete full-sized wooden chess set, which can be played on the chess board contained on the inner lining of the box. In the early to mid 1990s at the peak of his powers as a producer, Wu-Tang Clan mastermind RZA crafted a distinctive soundtrack at his basement studio in Staten Island. Whether or not he knew it at the time this haunting landscape of dusty samples, sharp snares and menacing urban gloom would soon become a pillar of hip hop history. These instrumentals, peppered in with frequent interludes of dialogue from the classic samurai flick “Shogun Assassin” became the core of the GZA’s 1995 LP ‘Liquid Swords’, and would eventually be considered by many as each man’s finest work. Cerebral, strategic and precise with his words, GZA crystallizes a range of influences, from chess to kung-fu films to mob flicks and eastern philosophy, into sharply delivered rhymes. Many would argue there is no greater MC to compliment the RZA’s production as well as GZA did on ‘Liquid Swords’. Note this is a heavy item over 2kg so international postage is very expensive.
