The 1990 debut album by Bay Area collective Digital Underground was a lighthearted affair featuring the club classic “Doowutchyalike” and the immortal crossover hit “The Humpty Dance.” These new pressings feature the original album as it appeared on CD, plus a host of bonus tracks including a cassette-only bonus track, an instrumental of “The Humpty Dance” and the unreleased “Blue View.” (A fourth bonus cut, the extended cassette version of album track “Gutfest ’89,” appears exclusively on the 2CD, with a radio mix of “The Humpty Dance” rounding out the set’s digital versions.) The album’s original executive producer Atron Gregory pens new liner notes, and both physical packages include a gatefold sleeve with pop-up artwork of a recording studio, originally illustrated by the group’s longtime founder, the late Gregory “Shock G” Jacobs.
