*** Bandcamp Exclusive*** Limited Edition Rejected Test Press
Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
*** Bandcamp Friday Exclusive*** We rejected the first set of test presses. There was a non-fill static noise that ran through part of the A-side. On some copies, it's minimal, on others, it's not. As we prepare for our next release in February, we are offloading these copies. They are hand-stamped and super limited. 7 copies in total. The first run of the reissue is sold out, and we aren't sure if we will be repressing. So if you missed your chance to get this on vinyl, now's your time. Or if you want to own a piece of rejection history, here's your chance.

about

Parallel Thought and the Tame One estate, led by Darlene Brown Harris, are excited to announce the re-issue of Tame One's iconic album "Da Ol Jersey Bastard" to commemorate its 15th anniversary. This is a special release as for the first time, the album will be available on vinyl. The audio has been remixed and remastered. To complement the new audio, the project showcases new artwork, inspired by Tame One's ingenious concept, as a heartfelt homage to the iconic cover of Ol' Dirty Bastard's legendary album, "Return to the 36 Chambers." The re-issue gives fans a chance to rediscover and appreciate the album, keeping Tame One's legacy alive

Rough rugged and raw . Nothing better describes ones listening experience when they first heard Tame One & Parallel Thoughts, “Ol Jersey Bastard”. It was 15 years ago when Tame One came to "The Paradigm", the recording studio of Freehold's own Parallel Thought. One session turned into two, then quickly turned into three, resulting in a twice-weekly recording ritual that spanned three years. This ritual would give birth not only to this album, but three (Acid Tab Vocab & Parallel Uni-Verses w/ Del Tha Funky Homosapien) instilling a lifelong creative partnership.

But let's focus on "Ol Jersey Bastard," Tame One's homage to the almighty and original OL Dirty Bastard. We always come back to those key descriptors : Rough rugged and raw . It was not the cleanest record to listen to, but it was true to Tame One's style and vision. He was not constrained by working with a group or having to answer to a label. (Amalgam Digital, the joke of a label who originally released this album wouldn't let us follow through with our original artwork concept) So the new cover and layout created by close friend Michael Interrante is Tame’s original concept paying respect to the almighty ODB. We also were able to include original scans of unseen artwork, tags & lyrics from Tames archive)

This was unfiltered raw hip-hop, showcasing Tame One's unparalleled ability on the mic. Sometimes that called for no hook or maybe a 54 bar verse, traditional song structures were out the window. That being said, coming back to this album all these years later as producers, we wanted to elevate the album's listening experience. We cleaned up the mixes, so you might notice Tame sounds a little clearer, or those beats might knock a bit louder. It was what was needed to further elevate the music while not compromising our and Tame’s vision. Further demonstrating that music is a living, breathing piece of art. Always able to evolve. We hope you enjoy this!
