Setting the stage:

I started to “build a record collection” of sorts about 20 years ago. I was motivated to buy vinyl because of a record player I received as a gift. What I quickly found out was that the vinyl records market is very dense and convoluted. Despite my love for music and all of its versatility, I didn’t have much direction. I simply bought what I liked to listen to, and I ended up with a “collection” of original records (i.e. first pressing) and reissues. Some purchases were of new records and some purchases were of used records, but for the last 20 years or so (subject to release date), all of the records I am offering have been in my possession. In total, I’ve accumulated just over 100 records for my “record collection”. Ultimately, these records have been collecting dust sitting on my shelves. I’ve opened and unwrapped some of the records and others are as is. Have I listened to them all? No way. I would estimate I’ve listened to about 25 of the records and some of them even a few times. Any of these records can become part of your collection now. I will be posting them in batches because compiling a discography, cataloging, and photographing all these records has been much more difficult than buying them and enjoying them. By now you can probably tell I’m not very technical with the record jargon. I’ve dedicated an immense amount of time to compiling the most accurate information to provide you about the records I am offering. I believe all of the records are in good condition at a minimum. I purchased them all from reputable record stores and not at garage sales or flea markets. That being said, I am happy to answer questions on the higher dollar items ($50+), I won’t take pictures and fulfill a bunch of random requests for the low dollar items, I just don’t have the bandwidth. In the end, I believe you will be very satisfied with your purchase. Please make sure and check out my other lots, there will certainly be something up your alley. I have priced all the items to reflect their current condition. If you disagree with my assessments please do not make the purchase. All sales items are final and I will not accept returns. Now onto the good stuff…

2Pac:

Tupac Shakur, better known as 2Pac, remains one of the most influential and iconic figures in hip hop history. Known for his poetic lyricism, political commentary, and raw emotional delivery, 2Pac redefined the boundaries of rap music in the 1990s. Born in Harlem and raised in various cities, 2Pac rose to prominence with a unique blend of street storytelling and socially conscious rhymes that addressed issues like systemic injustice, poverty, and personal struggles. His charisma, intelligence, and fearlessness helped build an enduring legacy that transcended music and entered the realm of activism, film, and pop culture. Despite a career cut tragically short when he was murdered at just 25 years old, 2Pac’s work continues to resonate with generations. His artistry blended vulnerability with bravado, giving the world an unfiltered glimpse into the Black experience in America. Albums like Me Against the World and All Eyez On Me solidified his legendary status, making him a posthumous global icon and cementing his place in the pantheon of hip hop greats.

2Pac - All Eyez On Me:

All Eyez On Me is a colossal, genre-defining double album and the first double disc of original material in hip hop history. Released in 1996 after 2Pac’s release from prison, it’s a triumphant and unrelenting celebration of survival, ambition, and defiance. Featuring iconic tracks like “Ambitionz Az a Ridah,” “California Love,” and “2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted,” the album showcased 2Pac’s razor-sharp delivery, vivid storytelling, and larger-than-life persona. It was also stacked with powerhouse collaborations, featuring Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Method Man, Nate Dogg, and more. Critically acclaimed and a commercial juggernaut, All Eyez On Me debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and eventually went 5× Platinum within months of release. It has since been certified Diamond, and is often cited as one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. This particular pressing faithfully captures the original experience, offering listeners the full scope of one of the most ambitious and celebrated albums in rap history.
