MF Doom: Operation Doomsday Vinyl 2LP

Back on black! Operation Doomsdayfaithfully reissued on standard black double vinyl with OGcover, just like it was back in 1999on theoriginal Fondle ‘Em release. Remastered sound for best possible bump, plus poster insert of the cover included -it doesn’t get more classic than this!Lab heads should know the music, but here’s our original review of the album as a refresher: Zev Love X of KMD reincarnated himself as MF Doom the masked villain who came out the ashes of the death (RIP Subroc) and major label weakness (fuc Elektra). He blasted back on the scene with a series of acclaimed Fondle ‘Em vinyl releases (which now go for 40+ buck a pop!). All of a sudden, his early material was gone. Luckily MF has released a new pressing of his full length which includes all 89.9 classics like “Dead Bent” (yes!), “Red and Gold,” and “Gas Drawls.” The production is rough and the guests stanky the way like we like it. Classic NY underground. 18 tracks in all.

• remastered from original Fondle ‘Em release
