Description
Factory SEALED - New Old Stock from 1988
Bobby Brown – Don't Be Cruel
An outstanding sealed original-era copy of Bobby Brown’s blockbuster Don't Be Cruel, one of the defining albums of late-'80s R&B and New Jack Swing. Featuring huge hits including “My Prerogative,” “Every Little Step,” “Roni,” and the title track, the album helped establish Brown as one of the biggest solo stars of the era.
This is a 1988 US BMG club edition on MCA Records — genuine new old stock that has remained sealed for nearly four decades. A very cool survivor and an increasingly tough album to find still factory sealed.
Condition
Vinyl: Mint (M) – Assumed. Factory sealed and unplayed.
Jacket: Near Mint (NM) – Excellent for a sealed 1988 copy. Original shrink remains tight and clean, with strong corners and no significant issues. There is just a very slight hint of ring impression/wear that is difficult to see without close inspection. Overall, a super nice sealed example.
