The Notorious B.I.G. Ready to Die CD 1994 Bad Boy Arista Original Red Case

The Notorious B.I.G., Ready to Die, original 1994 Bad Boy Records release on Arista Records. This is a true early-era CD featuring the iconic baby cover artwork that became inseparable from Biggie’s legacy and the rise of Bad Boy.

This copy is complete with the original booklet and inserts. Disc surface is clean with strong reflection. Jewel case is intact with light, normal shelf wear consistent with age.

Collectors seek original Bad Boy era pressings because they reflect how this album was first experienced, before later represses, remasters, or catalog changes. Ready to Die is the foundation of Biggie’s career, introducing his cinematic storytelling and helping define mid-90s New York hip-hop. Complete, clean copies continue to disappear into long-term collections.

Authentic period release, not a later pressing or reissue.

Please review all photos carefully, they are part of the description and show exact condition.
