Recording for the album took place during 1993 to 1994 at The Hit Factory and D&D Studios in New York City. The partly autobiographical album tells the story of B.I.G.' S experiences as a young criminal. Ready to Die is his only studio album released during his lifetime, as he was murdered just days prior to the release of his second album, Life After Death (1997). On March 24, 2006, Bridgeport Music and Westbound Records won a federal lawsuit against Bad Boy Records for copyright infringement, with a jury deciding that Combs and Bad Boy had illegally used samples for the production of the songs 'Ready to Die', 'Machine Gun Funk', and 'Gimme the Loot'.

Biggie Smalls passing any test, I'm ready to die! [Hook: The Notorious B.I.G. & Puff Daddy] Yes, I'm ready Yes, I'm ready I'm ready Yes, I'm ready Time to go, we gon put you out your misery. Ready to Die is the debut studio album by American rapper The Notorious B.I.G., released on September 13, 1994, by Bad Boy and Arista Records. The album features production by Bad Boy founder Sean 'Puffy' Combs, Easy Mo Bee, Chucky Thompson, DJ Premier, and Lord Finesse, among others.

The jury awarded $4.2 million in punitive and direct damages to the two plaintiffs, and federal judge Todd Campbell enacted an immediate sales ban on the album and tracks in question. On appeal, the Sixth Circuit found the damages unconstitutionally high and in violation of due process and remanded the case, at which point Campbell reduced them by $2.8 million; however, the verdict was upheld. All versions of the album released since the lawsuit are without the disputed samples. Hi, I bought a vinyl pressing like this ('old' layout and just 9 tracks) on ebay.

I was pretty sure that it's original as ebay usually removes all bootlegs, anyway now that I got it I doubt that this is a legit pressing. First of all it looks pretty new and not like from the 90s besides that it has no barcode at all. It has a runout - which is unusual for bootlegs I think - but it is stamped not etched and a little different from the one listed here on discogs for the original pressings: 78612 - 73000 - 1 HFM 94(Side 1) 78612 - 73000 -2 SBSP DMM (Side 2) any of you has an idea if this is a legit pressing or not?

Thank you Max.
