1980 crate staple on Reflection. There is also a Bachak pressing of this essential record (first press).

About to dive into "Birth of a Culture" @djflash4eva @strongislandmediachi - fresh off the press. The first record I purchased as a teenager was a Flash record so I'm excited to turn the pages on this one. Special thanks to @mcnallyrobinsonsk for continuing to support the culture.

Essential test pressing of this classic De La Soul cut from 1988. One of my first 12" purchases as a teenager and still one I revisit often.

On 🔥 is an understatement. This album made a huge impact when released and remains a firm favourite 40 years later.
