   There are rumours that OST will be Hiphop Record of the Month for November at Vinyl Me Please.

   Although the releases for October, November and December are getting announced tomorrow, some eagle eyed Redditors / members of the Needle and Groove forum have found mockups for OST:

   

   I'm guessing someone might be a bit pissed at this development (I don't wanna get into that again)...

   ...but all I can say (if the rumours are true) is that I really hope it was done with Thes and Dub K's blessings.

   Anyways, if it does happen, and is to be released as one of the three ROTM's for Hiphop (and not a mid week store drop) then hopefully it'll be given the 'treatment' it deserves, with some really nice liner notes and pressed in a way that Thes approves of (I really hope PUTS have some kind of involvement with it).

   Looking forward to it... and really looking forward to some of the reactions from people who've not heard this masterpiece before!

   Peace

   wow thats interesting. Where did this come from - can you share the link?

   I have a sneaky feeling Thes isn't involved but maybe we should ask him?

   sure! here you go: (its been confirmed)

   http://magazine.vinylmeplease.com/magazine/redman-people-under-the-stairs-big-boi-vmp/

   This paragraph suggests they may have had some involvement (hopefully): “O.S.T. is the kind of record that VMP loves to do: Out of print, hard to find, secretly incredible, and an opportunity for us to work directly with the artist to make this happen,” Winistorfer said.

   It has been confirmed, Thes and DubK are behind the release and it's a long story apparently... I hope we get to hear about that one day!

   That's a relief. It woulda sucked had it just been an OM thing without their involvement...

   ...you really piqued my interest with the comment about the story behind the release tho, hope the details do indeed come out

   really want to find out more. Is it remastered in any way? How has the rights with Om been worked out? Any other suprises?...

   Now, for the first time ever, they are reissuing long out-of-print, 2002 classic O.S.T. Has revamped gatefold gloss cover, updated liner notes & printed sleeves, and 100+ print reviews.

    Piecelock Instagram with the info!

    Its an official Piecelock release and they managed to license back OST (I'm not sure if this means they hold the rights).

    Its great news that they are in control of / behind the release :)

    Friends, family, freaks & fans! It is with absolute joy that Double K and I announce the long awaited 2xLP reissue of our classic album OST.

    After 18 long years, we have untangled the rights enough to step in and literally license back our own album from the holding parties - a costly and unprecedented move for an artist. We hope this business risk inspires others to unlock their back catalogs.

    This is an official Piecelock release (PL7025) and it’s being made and paid for by Mike and I, so however you buy it, you are supporting us! On that note, we have partnered with the good folks at @vinylmeplease to create a limited run of green smoke vinyl with an extra PUTS stencil inside. The retail edition will feature black vinyl, and all versions are double lp gatefold with new liner notes, printed sleeves and vinyl cut direct from original masters by our longtime friend @plyman at Infrasonic Sound in Nashville.

    This reissue project has been a labor of love and a bright spot in these otherwise dark times, and we are thrilled to have this album back on vinyl and hitting shelves all over the world November 20th. As always, we will have a small batch of copies for sale directly from us, including a few autographed copies and special pieces. More updates to come!

    hey YoYoPo, just a thought...

    I know you don't send out emails (because I've never received one, and perhaps it isn't possible) but maybe you could make an email shot to forum members to let them know this release coming.

    I'm sure a few old time dormant fans would love to finally add this to their collection.

    Bad idea maybe, I dunno

    not sure I can do that but there are a load of forum peeps all over this on instagram, so hopefully we got it covered. Plus this one isn't limited to a PL70 release so more people should see it via VMP / Fatbeats / other shops etc

    Crap I just picked it up 3 months ago for $150, the most i've ever spent on a record. I'm glad for you all who don't have it, I wish I had waited.

    I'm still kicking myself for not buying all my favorite albums on vinyl all these years. I was so caught up in digging and buying classics. Then I realized only about a year ago I wasn't actually DJ Shadow, and mountains of thrift store garbage with half a second of good drums were unlistenable and not what I wish I had.
