• Priority Records – P1 53532

Description

Released in 1998, this 10th Anniversary Tribute Edition celebrates the legacy of N.W.A’s legendary 1988 album Straight Outta Compton — an album that redefined West Coast rap, introduced gangsta rap to the mainstream, and launched careers for Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, Ice Cube, MC Ren, and DJ Yella.

This P1 53532 pressing was issued by Priority Records during their mid-to-late 90s vinyl run, a period in which most hip-hop sales shifted to CDs. Because of this, vinyl quantities were low, and sealed copies from this era are incredibly hard to find 25+ years later.

Collectors value this edition as:

• A high-quality 90s analog/digital-era pressing

• A tribute release from Priority Records’ golden period

• A sealed artifact tied directly to West Coast hip-hop’s most important legacy

SEALED 90s N.W.A vinyl has become a premium sector of hip-hop collecting.

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.

Cover grading: 

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