The next studio effort, Love & Life, was the re-union attempt by Blige and the producer of her first two albums Sean Combs. Dre Family Affair, the first single from the album No More Drama, became a big popular hit in the USA, while the song He Think I Don't Know brought her the first Grammy award. In a duet with George Michael she also sang a cover on Stevie Wonder's winding hit As. It was more soul-oriented and featured Aretha Franklin, Elton John, Eric Clapton and Lauryn Hill. A year later the Mary disc hit the shelves. got he first big prize – American Music Award for Favorite Soul/R&B Album.

In 1997, the third album Share My World was released. The same time she started taking part in side projects – recording duets with other singers and contributing to soundtracks. Her autobiographical sophomore attempt My Life was released in 1994, being darker and less up-tempo then its predecessor. She immediately got down to her follow-up, while the remix album What's The 411? Remix spawned the interest to her debut work. In 1993, Blige was already christened as the Queen of hip-hop soul. However, in 1991, the Uptown Records started working over her debut album titled What's The 411? and next year the lead-single You Remind Me saw light. She became the first female artist at the studio and mostly worked on back vocals for her mates, as the label mostly focused on the famous performers. Their representative met Mary and signed her to the label. Her mother's boyfriend took his attention to the cassette and though his hands it came to the Uptown Records. In 1988, she made a cover on Anita Baker's Rapture in a recording booth in the local shopping mall. The only time we'll list a record with a cover in this shape is if it's rare or the record is in great shape.Mary Jane Blige was born on Januand grew up in New-York, the USA. All the seams are split, the panels are moldy, major writing all over, etc. We will rarely list a record in this condition.Ĭover - cover is damaged to a point where it is not usable to house a record. Vinyl - will play but will have a lot of issues and have a lot of loud background noise. May have warping but it should not affect play.Ĭover - will have a couple cosmetic issues ring wear, seam splitting, writing on cover, creases, etc and it will be very pronounce. Vinyl - will look VERY played, have lot of marks, scuffs, scratches (possibly deep), play with noticeable maybe even consistent background noise but is still listenable. Could be a couple items (not all) and they should not be major.
May have light warping but it should not affect the play.Ĭover - will have noticeable wear such as ring wear, seam splitting, writing on cover, creases, etc. May have light surface noise such as pops, clicks and crackles but it should be occasional and not consistent and not overwhelming.

Vinyl - a unsealed record that looks nearly flawless.Ĭover - may have light typical storage wear. Of course since the record is sealed we cannot guarantee there are no pressing flaws or minor warping, and since most of the sealed records we sell are out of print and collectible if opened they cannot be returned as the value has been decreased, if we make an exception it maybe subject to a 50% restocking fee. Vinyl - only given to sealed records, or records we personally acquired new, opened them but never played. If this is a concern of yours you can contact us and ask us. NOTE: We do not grade or mention the condition of original printed inner sleeves (if the record has them) though we will often picture them if included. Occasionally we'll use a grade range (ie: VG / VG+) for either vinyl or cover if condition is borderline and hard to stick in one category. We encourage you to view all the pictures and read our comments on the conditions, as we find these to be more beneficial than a standard grade. With a partial play grading when deemed nessary. All our regularly priced used vinyl goes through and 10 minute Ultra Sonic cleaning (the best cleaning) and is then graded visually under bright light,
