PETE ROCK & CL SMOOTH The Basement Demos EP OLU-006

Selling my entire One Leg Up collection! Make sure to check out my other auctions.

This is the very rare, limited to 200 copies, Pete Rock & CL Smooth "Basement Demos EP" released on One Leg Up Records in 2009. The record/jacket/sleeve is in mint condition - only played once in order to record the songs into my computer.

Here is the original write-up + tracklisting taken from One Leg Up Records' website:

OLU Records has connected with C.L. Smooth to finally unearth some of the legendary sessions that were not included on the seminal "All Souled Out" EP. While these sessions always seemed to be a bit of an urban legend, a few of them had actually leaked on WBLS "In Control" back in the day. Once the debut EP was released, the duo quickly went on to change hip-hop history and these early tracks were all but forgotten! Fast forward to 2009.....Thought lost forever, 4XL has done the unexpected in working with C.L. to unearth these vintage treasures. Mastered and restored to optimum quality, this is a hip-hop goldmine, and this 5 track EP is a testament to the late 80's sound merging into the early 90's one. Of course, Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth were two of the main architects of this sharp turn in the golden era....Songs like the one-time WBLS exclusive "The Midnight Wrecka" and the fast-rap "Go C.L." sport an aggressive 1989/1990 feel that was probably scrapped in favor of updated material like "The Creator" or "The Good Life". Still the laid back "Cool and Calm" and "Down To Wreck Ya Body" head in the direction of the vintage "All Souled Out" flavor. Last, we are treated to a somewhat alternate version of "Go With The Flow". All the cuts are heavy on the scratching, courtesy of Pete Rock and it is lovely indeed! This is vintage Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth goodness and an essential to any Hip-Hop collection! This one won't last for too long so start your "Crispy Nuggets" series collections promptly and accurately; we have much more in store! We've also switched over to a new vinyl pressing plant so expect the wax to be super...

$14.00 Shipping for the first record, and $4.00 each additional record. Records will be shipped First Class International. This is the cheapest Air Mail shipping option. I will not ship surface mail due to the excessive shipping time. All packages over 4 pounds are shipped Priority International, because First Class International is not available for packages over 4 pounds. Usually packages containing 7 or less records are less than 4 pounds. 8 or more records is usually over 4 pounds.

All USA packages can be insured. It will not be included unless requested by the buyer. The prices for insurance will be as follows:

Records totaling up to $50.00 will be $1.80 to insure

Records totaling $50.01 to $100.00 will be $2.30 to insure

Records totaling $100.01 to $200.00 will be $2.85 to insure

Records totaling $200.01 to $300.00 will be $4.75 to insure

Any records totaling over $300 please ask for a price.

I have not lost many packages in the USA, but a record may have been damaged occasionally by the post office, and I will not be responsible any longer for lost packages or shipping damages if no insurance has been purchased.

International packages will follow my normal routine unless requested. I will not be responsible for lost international packages, or delays created by customs in other countries. Normally I ship First Class International because it is the quickest and cheapest way to send packages airmail. If you want an international package insured, I will have to charge the Priority price, which is almost twice as much as first class international, because they do not allow us to insure packages that ship first class international. Also an accurate package value will have to be declared on the customs forms in order to insure the package for the proper amount. This will create higher customs fees for you when you pick up the package. Unfortunately, there is no other way to insure international packages.
