That can't be the Original 1st release if the ringcode is RCD372B1 U-TECH/CA IFPI LR51
U-TECH is a duplicating company that was started up in 2000. And they are the ones who pressed the cd.
This a version that must've came out when the tape dropped, or maybe before. Well crap man, I need to see if I can get a hold of an old homie of mine & ask how his version looked. LOL I seem to remember less & less the more versions I see.

Is that tru Will4Life530? If that's a release that came out after the 90's, then someone must've got 1 of the 1st released & rereleased it looking like that.
Damn, but I'm surprised you could tell. Well it looks like Will got got & I bet BMR didn't release it like that, so it must be some bootlegger. I think that might be the way the og looks tho, only wish I could remember. I can say that it came out before the 1 so many think is og tho.. I remember they kind of tried to cover up how brotha lynch faked his death, cuzz I guess that's illegal.
I always thought the BMR-only version is the OG, but I guess that's wrong because I got a BMR-only version with ads for No Face Killaz and other BMR-releases
That's rarely a positive thing when you can see ads for later albums (2-3 years later) and internet addresses on '95 cover art LOL
I've always thought the priority/black market version is the OG since I bought it in 95 but still, history has taught us that BMR often had some local versions prior to the ones more widely distribution, something this thread shows us. We still need someone to clarify. Can somebody take a phone call to Cedrik singleton please?
