It actually was pressed to promote the Malt Liquor, it comes with a hard to find pic sleeve from Old English 800 telling people to distribute the records on college campuses and how to request more from the company. The record was going for money when it was initially in demand but has dropped significantly in price.

800 is one of a  rapper's favourite accompaniments to a large Jamaican Woodbine or when they get bored of drinking fizz.

I'll leave that for you to decide....they must be at least as rare as the picture sleeve.

 

Back on track, there's a couple of copies of this 45 on ebay if anyone's interested.
