Manifesto/Outro If you don’t know this album then you must have been asleep for the last 10 years! So welcome to the Fugees and the grammy award-winning “The Score” (No.1 US, No.1 UK– the biggest selling rap album of all time with over 17,000,000 units sold! Now is the chance to buy “The Score” on two beautiful slabs of 180 gram vinyl for the first time ever! Naturally such a phenomenal album has a few decent singles on it too. We’re talking the modest first hit before the album exploded “Fu-Gee-La” (No.21 UK ’96) and then we’re into the multi-platinum worldwide smash cover of Roberta Flack’s “Killing Me Softly” (No.1 UK, No.1 US ’96) followed swiftly by the Delfonics sampled “Ready Or Not” (No.1 UK, No.1 US ’96) and, finally, a beautiful cover of Bob Marley’s classic “No Woman, No Cry” (No.2 UK ’96). Apart from the success of the above, “The Score” effectively redefined the marriage of Jamaican rhythms with the North American rap sensibility to produce a world-class, grammy-award winning album. So, HEY, if you’re going to own this piece of history at all, then the ONLY way to own it is on DOUBLE 180 gram vinyl!
