Read full story ## COLLECTOR NOTES 1 Mastering engineer Joe LaPorta, credited on this label, won the 2017 Grammy for Mastering Engineering for David Bowie's final album, Blackstar. ## SCARCITY Uncommon 70-80% Common Legendary Genuine antiques with fewer examples on the market. Named makers, documented provenance, or early production examples. Rarity 5/10. Curiosa currently catalogues 2 vinyl items at rarity 5 or higher. ### Typical Characteristics - Limited production - Named makers - Growing collector demand ### AUTHENTICITY CONFIDENCE Very High (90% confidence) #### Confidence Factors - Specific 2025 copyright date and label details match known EMPIRE/ALC distribution - Complex color-split manufacturing is difficult to replicate for bootleggers [How does authenticity detection work?](/fake-art-detection) ## AUDIOPHILE'S ASSESSMENT Record Collector & Pressing Specialist Vinyl Expert Identification is near-certain due to high-resolution images of the center label and jacket, which provide specific cat-logs and mastering credits that align with 2025 release data. ### KEY EVIDENCE - 1 Matrix/label credits Joe LaPorta at Sterling Sound, consistent with high-budget 2025 hip-hop mastering. - 2 Presence of 'The Freeminded Records / ALC / EMPIRE' branding on the center label. - 3 Specific 'Ocean Blue & Clear Sky Split' variant matches documented deluxe edition production runs. - 4 Stereo identifier and 33 1/3 RPM speed notation are standard for this 12-inch format. ### WHAT WOULD IMPROVE CERTAINTY - β†’ Check the run-out groove (dead wax) for the etched matrix number to confirm the specific pressing plant. - β†’ Examine the spine for any compression or text misalignment. - β†’ Verify the presence of any unique inserts or download cards often included in TFM/ALC releases. COLLECTOR GLOSSARY (3 terms) ## CONDITION & GRADE NM / NM ### Grading breakdown The vinyl surface shows zero visible hairlines under direct light; the center label area is pristine, suggesting very few plays. Jacket corners are crisp with no shelf wear or seam splits. ### Condition The vinyl appears to be in Near Mint (NM) condition with high gloss and no visible spindle marks on the center hole. The jacket retains sharp corners and the obi strip is intact without tears or fading. ## RECORD MARKET VALUE $75 - $125 Updated: May 10, 2026 How we estimate value ### Who buys this Hip-hop vinyl enthusiasts focusing on Alchemist productions and fans of the 'luxury rap' subgenre associated with Larry June. ### What increases value - β€’ Limited nature of the deluxe color-split variant - β€’ Presence of the intact obi strip - β€’ Pristine condition of the jacket corners ### What lowers value - β€’ Secondary market saturation if Alchemist releases additional variants - β€’ Bumping or corner dings on the jacket from improper storage ### What makes top-tier examples - β€’ Low matrix run-out numbers indicating an early stamper use - β€’ Original shrink wrap or resealable sleeve with hype stickers still attached ### Grade & condition Vinyl surface marks, seam splits, ring wear, and spindle trail marks on the center hole. ### Rarity & demand Uncommon High demand Sells quickly [Browse similar vinyl objects](/archive/vinyl) For informational purposes only, not a formal appraisal. ## FROM THE CABINET OF [VH ](/cabinet/vhmadsen) [ ### vhmadsen ](/cabinet/vhmadsen) Wonderseeker β€’ 2 items [View Full Cabinet](/cabinet/vhmadsen) ### COMMENTS No comments yet.
