In 1995, GZA dropped his classic Liquid Swords. With RZA behind the boards, the record is wildly considered the finest Wu-Tang solo album. Of course, that claim is subjective. What is indisputable is the impact of the release and its position in hip-hop history.

With all this in mind, Get On Down is preparing to release the GZA Liquid Swords "Chess Box" reissue. Complete with working chess set and 20-page liner notes, the box set includes both a remastered version of the original album and a never-before-released instrumental disk. GZA himself was interviewed by Chris Faraone for the notes, explaining the recording process and his relationship with RZA. In short, this is a true collectors item designed to satisfy all levels of rap nerdery.

Look for the box set on July 24, 2012. The release is part of Get On Down's deluxe "Master Series" collection, which kicked-off with a brilliant wallet/id card package for ODB's Return to the 36 Chambers in 2011.

the way i see it is like in chess you must move 1 piece at a time, but to me Pogs is better, you simply flip to a more advanced dimension and hit the pieces all over at once

Damn Damn Damn Damn Damn! This looks awesome!!

I copped the ODB reissue last year and this looks even better!!!


Peace!

for those who bought the ODB one, is it worth it?

Liquid Swords is a better album obviously, but I already got the cd. I gotta see

The ODB package was great... expanded liner notes and the wallet and poster were really high quality. But to be honest, I really couldnt tell any difference between the remastered tracks and my original CD.

Not sure if it was the crappy speakers I was using at the time, I might have to go back and compare them again now that I've got a decent system to bump it on.


Defo going to cop the Liquid Swords one. I hope they do the same for Cuban Linx and 36 Chambers!! And Tical!!



Peace!

I don't understand this.

Why is there NO Swordsman beat? I clearly heard the Swordsman beat at the GZA concert, why not including it here???
