Edited one month agoMy version had identical runouts, front and back cover and label to this except it's greyish brown instead of white
-
Great pressing, nice double wax.
Currently playing now on the Wheels Of Steel..
Highly Recommend -
I have compared all the versions of this release and I can say hands down this is the most impressive representation on vinyl of SITA

Spare copy available, been in storage many years Ex (plain black cover). -
referencing Step In The Arena (LP, Album) 0946 3 21798 1 4
I have this copy and I don't like the sound. Distorted bass and poorly defined treble. -
Edited one year agoDoes enyones copy not have the Explicit Lyrics sticker? Amazing album, such a classic!👑 Sounds great! -

I can’t believe they even attempted to cram so many minutes of music onto side A of this LP. With such presumably thin grooves, the sound quality must be dismal. Can anyone report on how this side sounds? -
Have a spare copy of this, VG+/NM for £10 (Box109)

Classic album, I have this U.K. press and while it’s quiet which is to be expected given the amount of tracks on each side, it sounds really good.
Bass is low and clear, sound is full, warm and clean. Just needs a bit of volume gain and you’re sorted.
Given this is a release from 1991 it still sounds ace today. -

I've said this in a few other reviews for Urban Legends releases but whomever is cutting these with the "H" signature is bringing new life to these releases. Sound is loud and dynamic. Premier's beats have texture and depth to them and Guru's vocals are nice and crisp with no distortion. The pressing is serviceable and while you could ask for a lot better it doesn't get in the way. The cut again is fantastic. For a hip-hop release this sounds extremely good.
