Soul II Soul - Vol. II: 1990 - A New Decade CD (Original 1990 UK Pressing, 10 Records DIX CD 90)

Step directly into the golden era of the classic British warehouse groove. This is the original 1990 UK-manufactured first pressing of Vol. II: 1990 – A New Decade, the definitive sophomore studio album from Jazzie B’s world-conquering Soul II Soul sound system collective. Expertly blending lush orchestration and warm, bass-heavy reggae sensibilities with sharp street soul vocals and hip-house breaks, the record captures a legendary moment in UK club culture.

Featuring the global chart-topping hits "Get a Life" and "A Dream's a Dream"—alongside vocal powerhouses like Kym Mazelle, Marcia Lewis, and Lamya—this classic compact disc delivers the punchy, uncompressed bass frequencies characteristic of early-90s UK mastering. A phenomenal pre-owned collection addition for fans of classic house, street soul, and vintage British club music history.

• Media Grading: Very Good Plus (VG+)
  • Visual: The silver reflective surface preserves an exceptionally high shine. Under rigorous inspection light, it displays only a minor few superficial paper sleeve cleaning hairlines and no deep, playback-altering flaws.
  • Playback: Audio tracks pass through firmly with a strong, clean, bass-heavy signal. The high-contrast black-on-white text printing on the disc face remains sharp, crisp, and entirely unblemished.
• Sleeve & Case Grading: Very Good (VG)
  • Details: The original textured dark-spine plastic jewel case shows routine light shelf wear and superficial handling scuffs but maintains solid hinges and a firm center hub. The custom insert booklet and rear inlay card feature vibrant, warm abstract expressionist brushwork and graphics, remaining completely clean and free of water damage or unwanted writing.
