Mobb Deep – The Infamous

This pressing uses the same SRC/Absolute Audio mother/father plates as the first U.S. pressing. Main difference is it was pressed at United instead of SRC, which was shut down by the time this pressing was released.

No clue about the actual release date. I purchased my copy a few years back and it looked like it had been sitting at the shop for awhile. Sure you don't get any liner notes or cover art but the sound is surprisingly very good on this. Then again the original CD also sounds really good.

My personal copy is free of the major pressing defects we've come to expect from United over the last several years. I think this may have been pressed up before United went really downhill.

could be released in 2003
raekwon - only built 4 cuban linx... was released in the same way back then , 2lp black cover with sticker on top

I bought this yesterday at a store in Mint condition. It has been buried for months n the back. Sounds Amazing TBH. This is a record that I think with handle Pops and Hisses well over time and just add to why we love this record and what made NY sound so much. No clue when this copy came out though

I purchased this double set in 2007 so (my copy of this) release is at least that old.

This release didn't have the picture cover, rather the plain black cover with the 'Up North Trip' sticker. The photos that someone ed of the picture cover, that don't belong to this release, are still showing even though they were disabled.

Someone please fix this, as even though those photos were disabled, they're still showing up in my collection for this pressing.

Sounds great, my favourite album. The bass and highs are nowhere near as refined as the O.P, but still a great copy.

The sound quality on this release is very good and being as its my favorite album of all time it was a must have for my collection. However, couldn't they have put some effort into the artwork? Same with other Loud reissues like Raekwon's OBFCL. I still would like to add a pressing with the original artwork. Maybe asking too much but a picture vinyl with the group photo like the original CD with the orange and lue would be awesome!

MOV are doing a coloured blue and green reissue of this black will be out after. 1000 press

this is a review of mobb deep as people. the dudes are some bitches. they talk all that gun shit but I went to a show last year & them muthafuckas got security behind following them to the back room. I knock on the door asking for an autograph of this ^^^ my copy & some guy says its bad. presumably cuz Im not a chick. cant come down off the stage for fans? cant sign an autograph for a er? fuck mobb sleep. scary short soft ass little bitches.

Great press. A small amount of surface noise, but does not affect my listening at all. A must-have, classic album for all rap fans.

On the release date issue, I just tracked this thing down in April 2015, and my copy looks super fresh. Kinda hard to believe it's even as old as 2010, much less the 90's. Talking zero corner dings whatsoever, perfect shrink, no paper dust, and spotless discs. The stuff that I would really expect out of a 5+ year old album that made its way into my local store isn't there. I think this has been pressed multiple times. Just a guess, but also I've seen it come up on sites and sell out, only to reappear later a couple times in last 2 years.
