'1 in 21' Australia Release 1997 - Two versions or one ?

[Yaki]

..mine has the black cover and contains 8 tracks, but I remember having seen it in a white-red front cover years ago and it had way more tracks, so can anyone confirm that there is more than just this one version, but the 8 track version, then, was the orignal one, right ??

the 1 whit the white-red front cover got 8 tracks too and the back cover is different too

do you know why Ray and Strictly Dope choosed Network One Productions and AIM Records instead of sum more known global label ?

I always figured it was cuz aim records was outside the U.S and it would be harder for amaru to get at them.

oh you mean they tried 2 use the time when Amaru Ent. was not yet fully established (they came out in 1997, too, right) ? So it was a pure Australia release?

but wait, let s get that clear: Strictly Dope officially sold the rights to those tracks to AIM records, right? they were not bootlegged without them knowing, right?

I think it was just easier for them to bootleg outside of the U.S

Wouldn't be suprised if Amaru would of laid claim to the "1 IN 21" tracks even though they were done long before pac became a sucessful solo artist.
