The Pharcyde Take Another 'Bizarre Ride' On Expansion of Their Debut Album

One of '90s hip-hop's most acclaimed albums--as well as one of the most beloved rap debut albums of all time--is being reissued and expanded this month to mark its quarter century.

The Pharcyde's Bizarre Ryde II The Pharcyde will get the red carpet treatment by Craft Recordings as either a 2CD expanded edition or a 5LP set that includes the original album and all three of its original 12" singles. Both sets, released November 17, will be remastered by Dave Cooley at Elysian Masters and feature liner notes by Jeff Weiss.

Hailing from Los Angeles, The Pharcyde were characterized as something of a West Coast answer to the Native Tongues movement of Afrocentric, occasionally lighthearted, jazz sample-heavy hip-hop popularized by De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest on the East Coast. Imani, Slimkid3, Bootie Brown and Fatlip, described by Rolling Stone as a "pack of class clowns set loose in a studio," earned praise for their humorous storytelling and layered production by J-Swift, who produced all but one of the tracks on the album. Bizarre Ride was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America and featured the No. 1 rap single "Passing Me By." Though subsequent albums didn't replicate the success of their debut, members of The Pharcyde have often been aligned with some of the best of the genre; follow-up album Lacabinacalifornia (1995) was an key production credit for rising producer J Dilla, and Bootie Brown provided a verse on the seminal Gorillaz tune "Dirty Harry."

This marks the second major reissue of the album: in 2012, original label Delicious Vinyl issued a triple-disc expansion of the album as well as a box set of seven Bizarre vinyl singles for Record Store Day. For those looking to learn more about the making and impact of the album, WhoSampled has put together an impressive site about Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde ahead of Craft's reissue.

Both expanded editions, as well as new vinyl and cassette pressings, will be available November 17. Check out the track list and order links below!

His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.'
