Salt ‘N’ Pepa’s brilliant Blacks’ Magic album is getting a stunning vinyl reissue to celebrate its 30th anniversary.
The group’s third album, best known for the massive hit Let’s Talk About Sex, comprises 12 tracks in total, including singles Expression, Do You Want Me, and You Showed Me.
The reissue comes exclusively through Vinyl Me, Please on 2LP candlelight splatter red and yellow coloured vinyl. Each disc plays at 45 RPM.
“Most discussions of the album begin and end with “Let’s Talk About Sex,” arguably one of the most important rap songs with regards to sexual politics,” reads a synopsis for the release.
“But this record is deeper than that, boasting lots of mic trading and fun, light songs that were Salt-N-Pepa’s well, bread and butter.
The record, limited to 750 copies, is available to pre-order now, and is estimated to ship in early November.
