Almost one year after the release of the CD format, Hip Hop Enterprise is back with the vinyl treatment of Vaughn Smith's debut album "Diamondz and Pearlz" which was originally dropped on tape in 1996.
"The incredibly rare cassette-only 1996 debut of North Philly's Vaughn Smith has finally been restored on this brand-new vinyl edition from Hip-Hop Enterprise. Diamondz and Pearlz is a surprisingly mature, understated and jazzy album that sounds better now than it ever has before.
Working with Smith, who produced all 14 tracks himself, the original DAT masters were recovered but severely damaged, so this release was remastered by Jee Van Cleef from an original tape in addition to further vinyl mastering.
Available on Transparant Green Vinyl w/ OBI (100 copies / de Rap Winkel Records Exclusive, coming next week), on Crystal Vinyl (100 copies, HHV Exclusive) and on Black Vinyl (100 copies)
