Originally released in 2009 on Fat Beats Records, Enter the 37th Chamber transformed iconic Wu-Tang Clan songs into gritty, fully live instrumentals inspired by the cinematic production style of RZA. What began as an experimental tribute became a worldwide cult classic embraced by DJs, record collectors, hip-hop fans, and members of Wu-Tang themselves. Led by saxophonist and organist Leon Michels with producer Jeff Silverman, El Michels Affair blends vintage soundtrack music, early reggae, and raw analog soul into what the group calls Cinematic Soul. Nearly two decades on, it remains a landmark of instrumental hip-hop and a defining release in the Fat Beats catalog. This pressing comes on Crimson Strike color vinyl, with color-in-color and vivid yellow, red, and black splatter, housed in a heavyweight embossed jacket with spot gloss highlights, an exclusive OBI strip, and a 12x24 full-color band photo poster.
