The Rap Records : 2nd Edition Revised

After the retail success and unanimous critical praise of his first book, Freddy Fresh is back with a second edition and this time it’s bigger and better with 740 pages packed with over 2500 full colour photographs of the rarest rap records in the world.

It has also been expanded to include mid-90s labels, an updated section on British and other non-US labels, and a guide to help distinguish between original pressings and bootlegs and reissues. Also included are interviews with collectors and eBay sellers from Japan, England, and Germany. The book features a complete index cross referencing all artists to the correct record label and city for quick access to every record in the book. As an added feature, Freddy has included rare photos of New York City record stores taken in the 80s.
