1988 (Vinyl LP)

Since offering his first Stones Throw album, Hud Dreems, in 2015, Glen Boothe has snared a Grammy nomination through his contribution to Album of the Year candidate To Pimp a Butterfly (for which he co-produced "Momma"), joined Anderson .Paak under the name NxWorries, and continued to supply his growing base with dozens of smaller-scale digital releases. Boothe's second solo Stones Throw LP, 1988, obviously could not, as his label alleges with a wink, be based on recordings the producer made the year he was born, when he encountered an E-mu SP-12 sampling drum machine. While it's even more tantalizing to imagine the result of Boothe restricting his sources to nothing but recordings from the titular year – sampling classics by the likes of BDP, Guy, Pebbles, and Super Lover Cee & Casanova Rud – this is lacking neither imagination nor creativity, and is another transfixing exhibition of the beatmaker's command. There's a dusty soul strutter graced by .Paak, and other beats twist, stammer, and glide, cutting across genres, decades, and moods, smoothed out with transitions involving humorous interview segments, movie clips, and interjections as often as gentle fading.

Our Grading Standards
We grade all vinyl using the Goldmine standard:
Mint (M): Perfect, unplayed condition.
Near Mint (NM): Nearly perfect with minimal signs of handling.
Very Good Plus (VG+): Shows light signs of play but plays with minimal surface noise. The most common grade for collectable vinyl.
Very Good (VG): Noticeable marks and some surface noise, but still an enjoyable listen.
Good (G): Heavy wear — for collectors only.

All records are graded visually and by play. Media and sleeve are graded separately.
