King Gheedorah – Take Me To Your Leader (2LP)
King Geedorah aka MF DOOM is perhaps the most legendary and revered living figure in underground hip hop today. A generation have grown up in awe of the masked producer and MC – he’s influenced and worked with J Dilla, Flying Lotus, Earl Sweatshirt, Madlib, Clams Casino, Danger Mouse, RZA, Ghostface Killah, De La Soul and more.
On the conceptual classic Take Me To Your Leader, originally released in 2003 via Big Dada (Ninja Tune) – a year before Madvillain – Madvillainy, the collaborative opus with Madlib (Stones Throw) – DOOM took the form of a giant three-headed lizard from outer space on 13 tracks all produced, written, recorded, arranged, mixed and mastered by the Metal Fingered Villain himself.
Now, the rap classic has been revamped on limited double ruby red coloured vinyl, housed in separate card sleeves within a wide spine, rigid-board cream sleeve with burgundy foil detail. Plus, the original 12” “cutout” insert design has been reimagined on perforated card.
