Criminal Minded (Elite Edition)

Criminal Minded by Boogie Down Productions: one of the most influential and original albums in music history. KRS-ONE's combination of street slang and Webster's dictionary knowledge backed by Scott La Rocks hard hitting, minimal beats help set this album apart when it was originally released in 1986. A true classic, this legendary album is available in a much anticipated, 3xCD box set edition. The first disc features the original ten album tracks; all cuts re-mastered from the original masters. The second disc contains rare 12-inch cuts and alternative versions as well as exclusive and previously unreleased radio spots and audio footage. Disc three offers all ten album instrumentals plus three early 12-inch instrumentals available for the first time on CD. All three discs come housed in individual paste on style sleeves with a full color printed dust sleeves sporting the original B-Boy Records graffiti logo. A 44-page book boasts never before seen artwork and is packed with original illustrations by KRS-ONE himself, vintage BDP promotional flyers, unreleased photography, full lyric sheets, and in depth liner notes written by Brian Coleman with KRS-ONE. All this plus a full sized poster to boot! This reissue of this definitive rap album is a must have for any music collector or fan of contemporary American music in general. We invite you to experience Criminal Minded again for the first time.
