Description:

Up for sale is a genuine US Original 1st Pressing of the monumental 1987 Hip-Hop masterpiece "Bigger And Deffer (BAD)" by the legendary icon LL Cool J, released on the classic dark maroon Def Jam Recordings / Columbia Records label (Cat# C 40991).

Produced by LL Cool J alongside The L.A. Posse (produced by LL Cool J and the L.A. Posse for L.L. Cool J Productions) and engineered by Steve Ett, this multi-platinum landmark sophomore album is an absolute cornerstone of Golden Era Hip-Hop. Features undisputed street anthems like "I'm Bad", "Go Cut Creator Go", "Get Down", and the historic, genre-defining first-ever massive rap ballad "I Need Love".

This true analog first pressing was cut directly from the original master tapes, featuring the authentic hand-etched "MASTERDISK DM" signature in the deadwax, proving it was mastered by Dan Matousek at Masterdisk Studios, NY. High-quality pressing from Columbia's acclaimed Carrollton, Georgia plant (indicated by the stamped "G" code in runouts). Comes complete with its original custom photo/lyrics inner sleeve.

A magnificent, bass-heavy analog spinner for any serious Old School Rap, Def Jam, or 1980s Hip-Hop history vinyl completist!

Condition Report:

• Vinyl Condition: VG+ (Very Good Plus). Beautiful glossy vinyl record retaining a strong original factory shine. Under close inspection beneath direct light, it shows only a few minor, faint paper sleeve scuffs and superficial cosmetic hairlines that do not affect playback. The classic brown Def Jam labels are exceptionally clean, sharp, and completely free of any writing, stamps, or stickers. Spindle hole shows minimal wear. Plays with immense analog power, sharp punchy mid-range, and hard-hitting 808 bass punch.

• Cover Condition: VG (Very Good). Solid and structurally sound vintage cardboard jacket with crisp graphics on both the front portrait and the iconic reverse punching bag artwork. Shows honest shelf and edge wear, light rubbing along the seams, and typical minor corner wear consistent with age. Spine remains fully intact and legible. No heavy seam splits, no marker graffiti, and no cutout marks. Original custom lyric inner sleeve is intact.
