The Streets - A Grand Don't Come For Free FLAC download

This actually looks like a repress from the original stampers! Reason being on the original edition there is a strange pattern on the track “Blinded By The Lights”, and it’s also present on this copy, just not as noticeable... it doesn’t affect the sound of the track though

Damn ???????? Indeed it seems like it's present on all copies, I got a replacement copy for the first one I got and the new copy skips as well on that part. I don't know what to do with it...

Yeah that’s the one, it’s present on the original 2004 edition, although it doesn’t skip on either pressing with my copies

Are you referring to this? https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZsmW6NCxHZ3H5Xo27 Cause my turntable skips on that part....

My copy does not match the runouts listed here at all, nor does it match any other copy on Discogs. My copy has the following matrix runouts (all etched):Side A: GUY-THEEXCHANGE (S.D.) B400915-01 A1 Side B: B400915-01 B1 GUY - THE 'EXCHANGE'Side C: B400915-02 C1 GUY - THE 'EXCHANGE'Side D: B400915-02 D1 GUY - THE 'EXCHANGE'Does anyone have this version? Or does your version match the runouts in this listing? Could this be a different version not yet listed?

The soundtrack to my 2004. Some of the tunes sound a little dated & basic now but grime was the big thing around these times so I suppose some of it was based on that kind of sound. I love the fact you can listen to, and enjoy the tunes individually,or listen to them on the album a story told in sequence. There was nothing else like it at the time, the way Mike Skinner tells tales we can all relate to in his unique style, and there hasn't been anything like it since. Many have tried though. Definitely worth a purchase, if not only to get an idea of what it was like in the early to mid noughties

Love this album. Maybe even better than 'original pirate material'. A classical music friend amusingly commented that the intermission tracks are like recitative. If you can name a more ambient garage track than 'blinded by the lights' I'd like to hear it.

Can someone upload images of this press? Full cover, back, labels ect. Would be helpful.. Thank's

This sounds great and is a really tidy package!

Agreed 100%! Sounds brilliant on 180gram and faithfully reproduced package...

The weakest album in U.K history.What policemen listen to on their way to work.

You talk like an undercover policeman.Enjoy the album sir.It will sit nicely alongside your Ace of base and jive bunny l.p's.

Lamest response I've ever heard in my life. And I'm including Tronald Dump innit.
