Slick Rick, born Ricky Martin Lloyd Walters, is a British-American hip-hop artist who rose to prominence as part of Doug E. Fresh & The Get Fresh Crew in the mid-'80s. Their songs "La Di Da Di" and "The Show" are widely regarded as early hip-hop classics. His debut album, The Great Adventures of Slick Rick, featuring the signature track "Children's Story", was released in 1988. Behind Bars is the third studio album by Slick Rick, released in 1994 on Def Jam Recordings. The album was recorded while Rick was on furlough from prison, with some tracks built around vocals recorded years earlier. Additional recording took place during a 1993 work-release period. The album produced two singles showcasing Slick Rick's classic storytelling style, "Behind Bars" and "Sittin' In My Car". Production was handled by Warren G, Greg Nice, Paul Huston, Easy Mo Bee, and Slick Rick himself. Remixes were contributed by Pete Rock for "I'm Captive" and "Get A Job", and by Large Professor for "It's a Boy". Guest appearances include Nice & Smooth on "Let's All Get Down", Warren G on "Behind Bars" and hip-hop veteran Doug E. Fresh on "Sittin' In My Car". Influential hip-hop and lifestyle magazine Vibe praised the album, noting that "Rick's legendary street brilliance and sparkling, charming wit can even be distilled from behind bars." Behind Bars is available on 180gram black vinyl and includes an insert

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations
SHIPPING:
We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.
Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.
RETURNS:
Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.
If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.
Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.
CANCELLATIONS:
Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.
Thank you for your understanding.
