This copy is the "clean" version (edited) from Puff Daddy. Just prior to this debut album release, Puff Daddy's close friend The Notorious B.I.G (Christopher Wallace) was killed in a drive-by shooting in L.A. and this greatly affected Puff Daddy. The original album release is raw emotion, Puff Daddy was angry and questioning many aspects of life and some of the lyrics were "toned down" in this clean version.
Puff Daddy & The Family - No Way Out
Bad Boy Records
Cat# 78612-73014-2
1997
USA release
CD case, front booklet and rear insert are all in very good condition
CD media is in good condition, visually inspected under a bright white halogen light source and I can see a couple of very short light scratches right near the outer edge of the data area. I then played the ENTIRE album and there are no issues with playback on any track. Powerful messages, great music!
