Probably going to miss out on this These will be around for a while I'm sure. These are worldwide pressings and will get significant coverage from any account you'd expect to see an indie hip hop record in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabukweli Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I might consider getting this. Thanks for the post anyway. Otherwise I wouldn't have had any idea. There are way too many respectable hip-hop artists not putting out vinyl versions of their releases (like anything on Showoff Records, especially Reks).

davidsaidno Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Found some stores that are still carrying these. I think they were OOP for awhile. Some copies seemed to have been found. http://www.amoeba.com/below-the-heavens-lp-blu-exile/albums/955435/ (Color not stated) Blu & Exile - Below the Heavens 2xLP Blue Vinyl + bonus 7 http://ughh.com/blu-exile-below-the-heavens/SIC014BLP/ http://www.thegiantpeach.com/blu-exile-below-the-heavens-2xlp-blue-vinyl-bonus-7/ Blu & Exile - Below the Heavens 2xLP Black Vinyl http://ughh.com/blu-exile-below-the-heavens/SIC014LP/ http://www.thegiantpeach.com/blu-exile-below-the-heavens-2xlp-vinyl/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisWithanF Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I ordered one from Amoeba a couple of weeks ago, and received a blue marble copy. Just an FYI for you guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidsaidno Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I ordered one from Amoeba a couple of weeks ago, and received a blue marble copy. Just an FYI for you guys. That's where I ended up going with. I would honestly love to have any variant of this release. So I figured I would roll the dice and see what amoeba sends me.

dedlee Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 thanks for posting, got the blue w/ 7". this was my absolute favorite hip-hop album in high school and it's still way up there. didn't mind dropping $40 for it. davidsaidno 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Quik Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 And is this official or a bootleg? Does the blue version state if it's a colored version on the cover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedlee Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 And is this official or a bootleg? Does the blue version state if it's a colored version on the cover? official. it was pressed a year or two ago, but there is a bootleg that's been going around for years now that's rumored to sound really good.. at least not cd sourced. so i'd call it an unofficial pressing. the artwork is also way better too imo. you can still find one on discogs for $30 if you're really inclined, prices really dropped when the official one came about. each one has a colored sticker on the top left that indicates the color of the vinyl. blue for blue w/ 7", white for white w/ blue swirl (though there's little if any blue in it) and black for black vinyl.

swisherprice Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Looks like all of these are gone except for the $50 one on The Giant Peach. Really glad I didn't hold off on buying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swisherprice Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Got this today from UGHH, package came crushed with no fillers or bubble wrap inside, but surprisingly the records are fine. Glad it's alright, cause they sold out and I would've been pissed. Dodged a bullet with this one, but fuckin' USPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedlee Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I got a refund on mine because they didn't have enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidsaidno Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Received my order from Amoeba and got the Black variant. Now all I need to do is find Violent By Design at a decent price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Questhate Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Got mine in the mail today from UGHH.com. Yikes, they don't know how to properly pack a record at all! The record was bouncing around in a loose mailer. Playing right now, there's surface scratches from the bad packing job that is a bit noisy, but otherwise I'm happy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Quik Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Sorry about the condition, my blue vinyl version arrived yesterday from amoeba, perfect shape and packaging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
