Description

This is a very rare original UK IMPORT pressing of the excellent STAKES IS HIGH 2LP by DE LA SOUL on Tommy Boy Records (TBV 1149) from 1996. An absolutely essential hip hop record from this legendary group. The A-side vinyl is in VG condition with some light marks and wear and some lightly audible surface noise. The B-side vinyl is in VG- condition with some light marks and wear and a bit more audible surface noise than the A-side (light crackle); not for the most demanding audiophiles, but an enjoyable copy without skips or other anomalies. The cover is in VG+ condition with a few very minor scuffs and dings, as pictured. Don't pass up a rare gem like this!
