Tupac's iconic album 2Pacalypse Now makes its first vinyl appearance as the rare release hits stores in the US on Saturday, November 12.
The West Coast legend, who recently received nomination to be inducted in the 2016 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, first released his debut album in 1991 which featured memorable singles, such as “If My Homie Calls”, “Trapped”, and “Brenda's Got a Baby”, and featured Tupac brandishing raw thoughts on current issues at that time: racism, police brutality, and poverty to name a few.
As the album reaches its silver anniversary this Saturday, Respect The Classics will be releasing Tupac's debut record in both vinyl and cassette versions, “The 25th anniversary edition of 2Pacalypse Now will be packaged as a double LP gatefold and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at renowned record plant, RTI. The cassette version will include the original booklet from 1992 featuring the original photos and artwork covering the inner city poet's rise,” reads the description off the RTC webpage.
While 2Pacalypse Now's Vinyl edition prices at 26 USD, the cassette versions will sell at a mere nine dollars. Both options can be pre-ordered at the RTS website.
