2008 release. "Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde is the debut album from The Pharcyde. Released in late 1992 by Delicious Vinyl, the album was hailed by critics and alternative rap fans and appeared in 'best albums' lists in several publications. Produced entirely by J-Swift with easily some of the tightest and most inventive beats of the era, 'Bizarre Ride' features only one guest appearance, provided by little known Los Angeles rapper Buckwheat (who would become known as 'Bucwheed' from The Wascals). Released during the dominant gangsta rap era of the West Coast, the music was described as 'refreshing' due to its playful, light-hearted humor and lush, jazzy production. Along with albums like To Whom it May Concern... by Freestyle Fellowship, and I Wish My Brother George Was Here by Del tha Funkee Homosapien, Bizarre Ride helped establish a new alternative scene on the West Coast followed by artists such as Hieroglyphics, The Coup and Jurassic 5." On orange and blue vinyl.

"After support slots for De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest as well as a successful performance on Lollapalooza's second stage in 1994, The Pharcyde released its second album, Labcabincalifornia, which was a calmer but no less warped follow up to their first album. Where their debut Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde showed a group of hilarious and immature juveniles joking and discussing issues facing teens over cartoon-style beats, 'Labcabin' displays men who have matured into adulthood and now celebrate the essence of hip hop. Lyrically, the MCs are less humorous and much more intelligent sounding, dropping verses that make you want to check the liner notes and read the lyrics. They also use their interesting voices more creatively, often harmonizing and singing. But the real treat that makes this album stand apart from their debut is the production. It has a smooth and focused tone that is unique, thanks to Jay Dee (R.I.P.). This amazing beat maker produces most of the tracks on the album."

Catalog #:	DV 9033LP

2007 release. "Jay Dee (aka J Dilla) emerged as a hip hop producer to be reckoned with in 1995 when his name was attached to the first single from The Pharcyde's eagerly anticipated sophomore album Labcabincalifornia. Drop the needle on his first Pharcyde production 'Runnin' and you have the launch point of a producer's career that mesmerized, titillated and expanded the domes of hip hop fans for the next decade. Jay Deelicious: Originals, Remixes & Rarities documents Jay Dilla's early production on Delicious Vinyl. Working closely with The Pharcyde and Michael 'Mike Floss' Ross, (Delicious Vinyl's founder), Jay Dee was instrumental in keeping The Pharcyde's second album as ear poppin' and bugged as their maiden classic Bizarre Ride To The Pharcyde, stepping up big time after the group parted ways with Bizarre producer J-Swift. In addition to original productions and remixes for Labcabin, Jay Dee skillfully worked with the label on incredible mixes for the Brand New Heavies, as well as unreleased remixes for former BNH singer, N'Dea Davenport."
