Ghostface Killah Ironman (Vinyl Record)

Setting the stage:

I started to “build a record collection” of sorts about 20 years ago. I was motivated to buy vinyl because of a record player I received as a gift. What I quickly found out was that the vinyl records market is very dense and convoluted. Despite my love for music and all of its versatility, I didn’t have much direction. I simply bought what I liked to listen to, and I ended up with a “collection” of original records (i.e. first pressing) and reissues. Some purchases were of new records and some purchases were of used records, but for the last 20 years or so (subject to release date), all of the records I am offering have been in my possession. In total, I’ve accumulated just over 100 records for my “record collection”. Ultimately, these records have been collecting dust sitting on my shelves. I’ve opened and unwrapped some of the records and others are as is. Have I listened to them all? No way. I would estimate I’ve listened to about 25 of the records and some of them even a few times. Any of these records can become part of your collection now. I will be posting them in batches because compiling a discography, cataloging, and photographing all these records has been much more difficult than buying them and enjoying them. By now you can probably tell I’m not very technical with the record jargon. I’ve dedicated an immense amount of time to compiling the most accurate information to provide you about the records I am offering. I believe all of the records are in good condition at a minimum. I purchased them all from reputable record stores and not at garage sales or flea markets. That being said, I am happy to answer questions on the higher dollar items ($50+), I won’t take pictures and fulfill a bunch of random requests for the low dollar items, I just don’t have the bandwidth. In the end, I believe you will be very satisfied with your purchase. Please make sure and check out my other lots, there will certainly be something up your alley. I have priced all the items to reflect their current condition. If you disagree with my assessments please do not make the purchase. All sales items are final and I will not accept returns. Now onto the good stuff…

Ghostface Killah:

Ghostface Killah, born Dennis Coles, is one of the most dynamic and emotional voices in hip hop. As a founding member of the Wu-Tang Clan, Ghostface set himself apart with his razor-sharp storytelling, vivid imagery, and unrelenting energy. His lyrical style blends crime drama, raw emotion, and surreal wordplay, making him a standout on Wu-Tang’s Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) and throughout his solo career. Collaborating closely with fellow Wu-Tang members like Raekwon and Cappadonna, Ghostface’s work is steeped in soul samples, mafia-style narratives, and street wisdom. He’s been called “the most consistent Wu-Tang member” and his debut, Ironman, is a shining testament to his depth, grit, and charisma.

Ghostface Killah - Ironman:

Released in 1996, Ironman is Ghostface Killah’s powerhouse solo debut is produced entirely by the legendary RZA. This record blends raw East Coast hip hop with rich soul samples and cinematic storytelling. It features heavy appearances by Raekwon and Cappadonna, giving it a classic Wu-Tang feel, but it’s Ghostface’s intense delivery and emotional range that truly elevate this album. Critically acclaimed and certified Platinum by the RIAA, Ironman has become a landmark in ‘90s hip hop. Standout tracks like “Daytona 500”, “All That I Got Is You”, and “Winter Warz” are cult classics. Over time, the album’s soulful production and raw lyricism have solidified its place as one of the greatest solo debuts in rap history.
