• Track Listing

Their 1995 major-label debut, the Roots’ second album (1995) saw Questlove and co. eschewing the sample-heavy trends of the day in favor of old-school jams and grooves. This was the year the Roots ascended to the stages of Lollapalooza and the Montreux Jazz Festival—their star was rising fast as they laid these beauties on the world’s ears: "Proceed," "Mellow My Man," "Distortion to Static," "I Remain Calm," "Lazy Afternoon," the title cut and more. This pivotal moment for the Roots and for hip-hop returns now in glorious fashion: remastered from the original tapes, with bonus tracks curated by Questlove, on triple vinyl in a tri-gatefold jacket in a slipcase. Rare photos, essays and track-by-track commentary come in the booklet; bonus material includes "Proceed II" (featuring Roy Ayers), "Proceed IV" (AJ Shine Mix), "Proceed V" (Beatminerz Mix), multiple remixes of "Silent Treatment" and more!
