THE NOTORIOUS BIG – READY TO DIE
First pressing of this now classic and extremely rare album in excellent condition. Biggie’s first record and the first record on Bad Boy Ready To Die is regarded by some as one of the best Hip Hop records ever made.
“The Notorious B.I.G. did more than just deliver a magnum opus with 1994?s Ready to Die. He scribed a story that would be shared by millions. Reared by a world of violence and paranoia found on the harrowing streets of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn—226 St. James Place, to be exact—the former drug dealer turned rhyme-slinger would channel his gripes and frustrations into an album that chronicled his life’s journey to that point.
From the menacing greed of “Gimme the Loot,” to the raw vulnerability of the title track and the soul-draining bleakness of “Everyday Struggle,” Biggie’s extolled debut hinted that not another MC could fill his Timbos. Posing a double threat by perfectly tying together its hardcore, grungy street joints (“Warning,” “The What”) with polished commercial-ready records (“Juicy,” “Big Poppa”), Ready to Die went on to impressive sales while making a star out of Biggie Smalls.”

GRADING
SLEEVE: NM
PERFECT – STILL IN SHRINK WRAP!!!
RECORD: EX
The records have a few superficial paper scuffs from being removed from the sleeve. Plays like a dream with no crackling or popping at all. Fantastic!
The above record grading is based on Record Collector magazine system:
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
IF YOU DISAGREE WITH MY GRADING (Which is hope is very unlikely) PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE LEAVING FEEDBACK.
Records shipped in dedicated record mailer with stiffener.
Postage costs (Please contact for specific country if not listed):
U.K - £3.70
US - £6.80

Rest of the world - From £6.80
I calculate postage using the Royal mail postage calculator. I charge an extra 50p for packing materials as i buy specialist record mailers and stiffeners. Sometimes records cost less to mail than i expect. In these cases i try to refund the difference. However, as I mail a number of records at one time i occasionally lose track of who paid what postage for which record. RATHER THAN LEAVING LESS THAN 5 STAR FEEDBACK, IF YOU HAVE BEEN OVERCHARGED FOR POSTAGE PLEASE CONTACT ME AND I WILL IMMEDIATELY REFUND YOU THE DIFFERENCE.
NO QUIBBLE FULL MONEY BACK GAUARANTEE IF YOU ARE UNHAPPY WITH YOUR PURCHASE!
