Why This Record Is Special

Biz Markie’s Goin’ Off is one of hip-hop’s cornerstone Golden Era albums — packed with Marley Marl production, sample-heavy beats, and Biz’s unmistakable humor and charisma. A SEALED 1988 OG US press is incredibly hard to find and represents one of the most collectible pieces in late-80s hip-hop vinyl.

This album includes classics such as:

• “Make the Music with Your Mouth, Biz”

• “Nobody Beats the Biz”

• “Vapors” – the track that inspired countless later reinterpretations

• “Pickin’ Boogers” – quintessential Biz personality

For collectors of Cold Chillin’, Juice Crew, or foundational rap, this is a museum-grade copy.

Pressing Notes

• True 1988 Original US Pressing on Cold Chillin’ / Warner Bros.

• Catalog: 1-25675

• Known for punchy, early Marley Marl production

• SEALED copies rarely surface due to heavy DJ and street-level play during release years

Collector Value

A sealed OG first press of Goin’ Off is one of the top-tier pieces in Golden Age rap collecting. Most surviving copies are beat from decades of play — sealed examples are exceptionally scarce and rising in value.

This is a perfect investment-grade piece for:

• Hip-hop historians

• Golden Age collectors

• Cold Chillin’ / Juice Crew completists

• Anyone who wants a true time-capsule rap artifact

We conservatively grade our records.
Record grading:

• Mint (M): Absolutely perfect in every way, likely never played, and still sealed.

• Near Mint (NM or M-): Nearly perfect. The record shows no obvious signs of wear and looks as if it was just opened. No visible marks or scratches.

• Very Good Plus (VG+): Shows slight signs of use, such as light scuffs or very minor scratches, but plays without any major deterioration in sound quality.

• Very Good (VG): Noticeable wear with some surface noise, light scratches, or groove wear, but still plays through without skipping.

• Good/Good Plus (G/G+): The record plays but with significant surface noise, scratches, and wear. The cover may have visible damage or splits.

• Fair/Poor (F/P): The record may be damaged and is barely playable. Typically used only for highly collectible records.

Cover grading: 

• Mint (M): The cover is flawless, with no signs of wear. Often still sealed with no corner dings, creases, or ring wear.

• Near Mint (NM or M-): The cover looks almost new, with only the slightest signs of handling. There may be very minimal wear, but no significant flaws like writing, splits, or tears.

• Very Good Plus (VG+): The cover shows light wear, such as minor scuffing, small corner creases, or slight ring wear. No major damage, but a well-cared-for album with minor imperfections.

• Very Good (VG): Moderate wear is visible, including ring wear, light edge or corner damage, small seam splits, or slight discoloration. Still presentable but clearly used.

• Good/Good Plus (G/G+): The cover shows significant wear, such as noticeable ring wear, seam splits, heavy creasing, or writing. It may still hold together but looks heavily worn.

• Fair/Poor (F/P): The cover is heavily damaged, with major seam splits, tears, extensive writing, water damage, or severe ring wear. It may barely hold together or be incomplete.
