    I'm not sure which version of Black Castle I've got on my hard drive, but there's a few tracks that don't appear on this new release. Not sure if they're supposed to be there, or if they weren't even recorded around the same time (some do sound out of place)...


    01. Intro (just some talking over a beat, saying Royal Famous, Blame Us... etc.)
    02. Blame Us (prod. Y-Kim)
    03. Rules 101 (prod. Y-Kim)
    04. Invitation Only (prod. Mathematics)
    05. All The Kings Men (prod. Y-Kim)
    06. What You Think (prod. Y-Kim)
    07. Black Castle (prod. Y-Kim)
    08. I Declare War (prod. Y-Kim)
    09. Once Upon A Crime... (prod. Y-Kim)
    10. Army Brigade (prod. Y-Kim)
    11. Summin' Gotz To Give (prod. Y-Kim)
    12. Musical Chairs (prod. Arabian Knight)
    13. Since When (prod. Y-Kim)
    14. It's So Hard (prod. Y-Kim)


    Anyone got any info on Blame Us, Invitation Only, and Musical Chairs...?



    Peace!

    maybe Invitation Only and Musical Chairs not on this new version because they are not produced by Y-Kim.

    My bad - I actually meant Blame Us. Always thought it was a kind of weak opener that sounded like it was a more recent recording than the rest of Black Castle

    Rules was the best beat on the whole album. I don’t understand why they don’t use it on this
    one.

    That's the same tracklist as the unreleased Nature Sounds version of Black Castle with Since When & It's So Hard tacked on:

    https://www.discogs.com/The-Royal-Fa.../master/741028

    My guess is whoever uploaded that version added those last 2 as bonuses b/c they were other original Royal Fam tracks. If you check them & let us know if there's a huge difference in sound quality in the last 2 tracks vs 1-12, you could confirm it (especially if that Hard World starts w/ a DJ drop.)

    Maybe Hidden Chambers was the OG track to use that beat, but it later got switched - so the version of Rules on this latest release is the OG version of that track?

    It's a 192kbps file... same as the rest of the compilation I have. Not sure where it originated from, or if it's any better quality than what's already out there.

    I'll put some links up to DL them later today so you can check them out.


    Peace!

    Hard World or It's So Hard doesn't start with a DJ drop on the version I have... unless it was edited out. It's 2:50 long and starts straight in to Timbo's verse.

    I'll up some DL links later today so you can check them.



    Peace!

    I have a feeling the CD is just going to be these same 128kbps files pressed up to CD.

    I don't think we're going to hear any increase in quality.

    After listening to it's so hard, I'm guessing the original source was used. Anyone actually download the album yet and can confirm the s/q?
