In celebration of the five year anniversary of Ghostface Killah’s widely acclaimed 2018 LP, The Lost Tapes — produced entirely by Big Ghost LTD — Coalmine Records is pleased to announce our partnership with Holy Toledo Productions for a deluxe edition reissue that includes both the main and instrumental passes. 

Despite what the title may suggest, The Lost Tapes is not a collection of rare or unreleased tracks, but rather an album recorded with the intention of summoning an incarnation of an early Tony Starks, akin to Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, Ironman, and Supreme Clientele. And this is achieved largely by the production value that Big Ghost LTD who tastefully weaves soulful samples to create a satisfying cocktail of distinctively up-to-date boom bap. Narrated by Michael Rapaport, the ’90s hip-hop aficionado, actor and comedian helps keep the pace for Ghost Deini’s 10th solo LP by reminding us that we’re in the presence of greatness. But it’s the chemistry of emcee and producer that elevates The Lost Tapes to one of the more stand-out solo releases in Wu-Tang’s discography of recent memory. 

This collector’s edition 2XLP is presented in hand-numbered jackets enhanced with spot gloss over an updated design of the ghost logo by Bozack Morris. Disc one is pressed in a black with gold swirl configuration, with disc two press in white with gold swirl vinyl. Pre-orders are available now. All customers will be emailed a free digital download link to the album as WAV files within 24 hours of purchase.
