Next month will see a CD box set of 1992’s hip-hop classic Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde.
In truth, the news is a tad confusing: this year’s Record Store Day already saw the release of a Bizarre Ride box-set, containing seven coloured 7″s, a 24-track double-CD including instrumentals, acapellas and a bonus track, plus posters, a jigsaw and more. We’re guessing this new, less lavish box-set represents a less specialist version: sporting as it does three CDs (“original album, full instrumentals, remixes and more”), detailed liner notes (presumably again by the album’s producer J-Swift, who contributed notes to the Record Store Day set) and vintage photos.
Delicious Vinyl will be handling this edition, and it drops on July 10-. Stream the group’s classic ‘Otha Fish’, from Bizarre Ride, below the tracklist.
