Richard Pryor LP

The Grammy-nominated cover art looks fantastic in person, and the vinyl pressing captures those early recordings with surprising clarity for a compilation. It’s a perfect set for anyone wanting to hear his raw, early stand-up work.

I was a bit worried about the sound quality on early recordings, but this vinyl pressing is incredibly clean and quiet. The original Grammy-nominated cover art by Gary Burden looks fantastic, and the tracklist covering 1966-1974 is a great deep dive into his early career. A must-have for any Pryor f

I was hoping for clearer sound on some of the tracks, but the vinyl itself is well-pressed with minimal surface noise. The updated cover art looks nice, though the original design is still the highlight for me.
