Originally released in 1995 as the third breakout solo project from The Wu-Tang Clan (following Method Man’s Tical and Ol Dirty Bastard’s Return to The 36 Chambers,) the album is produced entirely by RZA and guest-stars Ghostface Killah. It features appearances from all of the group’s members and spotlights Nas as the first non-affiliated feature on a Wu-Tang record (“Verbal Intercourse.”) The album will arrive on translucent purple wax with the first vinyl pressing of the album’s closer “North Star (Jewel,)” formerly a CD-exclusive cut, according to The Vinyl Factory.
