Original Pirate Material – The Streets

Celebrating it’s 20th Anniversary Edition. Originally released in 2002, this debut album by Mike Skinner is widely regarded as a defining moment in UK music, blending garage, hip-hop, and spoken word into a raw, authentic narrative of British urban life. The anniversary edition, released on 22 April 2022, comes as a 2LP set pressed on green heavyweight vinyl, offering superior sound quality and a collectible aesthetic.

The album features iconic tracks such as “Has It Come to This?”, “Let’s Push Things Forward,” “Weak Become Heroes,” and “Don’t Mug Yourself.” Each song captures everyday experiences with sharp lyricism and innovative beats, making the record a cultural landmark. Produced entirely by Skinner, Original Pirate Material broke new ground for UK garage and influenced a generation of artists.

Packaged in a striking sleeve with updated artwork, this edition is perfect for audiophiles and collectors seeking a piece of modern music history. Measuring approximately 12 inches per disc, the set fits standard turntables and delivers warm, analog playback that digital formats cannot replicate.
