The Geto Boys RARE Vinyl Record.
Did some research and this record is hard to get!!!!

Def American  Parental Advisory Explicit Lyrics version

Have marked this as good as I am not a professional record grader, but it could be much higher. Some slight marks and scuffs but plays fine (I have tested it) Slight wear and tear from storage.

ANY QUESTIONS JUST ASK

From Wiki...

The Geto Boys is an album by the Geto Boys, was released in 1990. The album contains eleven revamped tracks from the group’s previous albums, Grip It! On That Other Level and Making Trouble, and three new songs. The cover of the album resembled the Beatles' album Let It Be and attracted much controversy over its release.

The original Def American pressing is the only WEA-distributed album with the following warning in addition to the standard explicit-lyrics sticker:

“ Def American Recordings is opposed to censorship. Our manufacturer and distributor, however, do not condone or endorse the content of this recording, which they find violent, sexist, racist, and indecent.[1] ”

Due to the controversial nature of the lyrics, especially in the songs "Mind of a Lunatic" and "Assassins", the album's originally intended distributor, Geffen Records, and CD manufacturer Sony DADC, which manufactured Geffen's releases, refused to have any part in the release.[2][3] After Geffen terminated its manufacturing and distributing deal with Def American, Rick Rubin arranged alternative distribution with Warner Bros. Records, which agreed to distribute the album and all following Def American releases with product manufacturing by WEA Manufacturing.[4] Marketing for the album was handled by Warner Bros. sister label Giant Records.[citation needed]

Subsequent pressings on Rap-a-Lot and various distributors do not contain the secondary warning and an alternative version of "Gangster of Love" that uses a sample from Lynyrd Skynyrd’s "Sweet Home Alabama" instead of the Steve Miller Band’s "The Joker."[citation needed] "Do It Like a G.O." was released as a single with a music video but did not chart.
