Fugees’ ‘The Score’ Getting Special Vinyl Release For 20th Anniversary

Fugees, that rare bird of 1990s hip hop, produced forth only two albums during their short career — the latter of which, 1996 bar-raiser The Score, remains one of the most influential and beloved LPs of said decade. (To-date, it’s sold 6 million copies in the States alone.)

Last month The Score quietly hit the 20-year mark, on February 13. But its importance has not been lost on label Sony and online wax enthusiasts Vinyl Me, Please, who have partnered up for a 20th anniversary vinyl re-release of Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean and Pras Michel‘s musical master stroke. The Score will be Vinyl Me, Please’s record of the month for April.

Special features of the new edition include a gatefold sleeve, the original album on two-LP split-color black and gold vinyl, a bonus gold 7″ vinyl with three bonus tracks — “Fu-Gee-La” (Refugee Camp Remix), “Mista Mista” and “Fu-Gee-La” (Sly & Robbie Mix) — a 12 x 24 fold-out poster and 12 × 12 original art print by Kenyatta A.C. Hinkle.
