A BIG shoutout to tREBLEFREE for sending me a SEALED copy of this mixtape. It's almost 10 years old!

The Roots: Things Fall A Preview MCA-4P-90170
Mixed by Jazzy Jeff
Promo only sampler given out when TFA came out.

I was at the *big* HOB show in LA and was too busy having a good time to grab this tape. This, the Things Come Together, and 24x36 and bigger posters of all FIVE of the album covers. I've never seen any of those since that night.

179572, handle, you have things come together, right?
Posted by justin_scott, Fri Oct-10-08 02:39 PM
i actually have 2 versions. same music, only slight (and i miean slight) difference in the cover.

anyways, i have this on cdr, but never knew it was actually given out with an actual cover. i dont collect roots cds much anymore, but now i will look for this. i would love to find one of these still around.

also, since you have the site, there is a cd (compilation--name escapes me right now, but i have it at home) that has "dont see us" listed under it's original title "peas and cues"

Yes, I have both. I *THINK* it may have come out on casette also.

I think it's on The Urban Networks Rapology 13 Volume 2, but I have never seen one in person.
179624, what i have is called "summer heat"
Posted by justin_scott, Mon Oct-13-08 12:54 AM
it's a 12 track mca sampler with it's own front and back cover.
