The Cellar EP is a collection of three previously unreleased Rakim tracks. Released by the japanese record store www.soundtable.co.jp, in colaboration with US labels No Sleep Recordings and Tres Records. 300 copies pressed.

Here is the info provided by Soundtable when pre-orders where launched for this release:

"Man With A Gun" (Recorded by Rakim in 2002)
This song was done strictly for an underground buzz 12" that was never released. Featuring D.J. Slyce (1997 DMC USA Champ) on the scratches, this gem is exclusive to this limited vinyl and will never be released in any other format.

"Once Upon A Rhyme - Original Version" (Recorded by Rakim in 1995)
This song/version was a last minute deletion from the "18th Letter" LP. Cuts are also provided by D.J. Slyce. Again, this is the first time this song is available to consumers, and will only be released on this limited 12".

"Show Me Love - Rugged Version" (Recorded by Rakim in 1996)
BONUS TRACK. Tthis version had to be remixed for the "18th Letter" LP, due to sample clearance issues. This will be the only vinyl release of this recording, but the track will be featured on the forthcoming Nick Wiz "Cellar Sounds: Vol. 1" 2CD to be released in 2008.

Run-out groove has:
Side A: "TSN-001-A S-64890"
Side B: "TSN-001-B S-64891"

This is the very first vinyl pressing of the amazing "Fast life - Vinyl Reanimators REMIX". The remix certainly improves the original version and is also better than the "Norfside remix" (by Salaam Remi), in my opinion. There's been a few different white label releases with the "Fast life - Vinyl Reanimators REMIX" after this one.

Run-out groove has:
Side A: "RAJ 001A TURF INN" + a "AA BAJ" signature.
Side B: "RAJ 001B THE POST" + a "AA BAJ" signature.
