Description

The Slim Shady LP is Eminem's major-label debut and the album that introduced the world to his infamous alter ego, Slim Shady. Released in 1999, it blended razor-sharp lyricism, dark humour and cinematic storytelling with production from Dr. Dre, the Bass Brothers and Eminem himself. The album became a global success, earned the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, and established Eminem as one of the most influential artists in hip-hop.

Featuring classic tracks including My Name Is, Guilty Conscience, Role Model, Brain Damage, '97 Bonnie & Clyde, Rock Bottom and Just Don't Give A F*, The Slim Shady LP remains one of the defining rap albums of the late 1990s.

Pressing Notes

Original 1999 UK first pressing on Aftermath Entertainment / Interscope Records, catalogue number 490 546-1.

Issued as a double LP, the UK/European first pressing was manufactured in relatively limited quantities during a period when vinyl sales were significantly lower than CD. Complete copies with the original printed inner sleeves are increasingly difficult to find, making genuine first pressings highly sought after by collectors.
