Description

Offered for sale is an original Japanese pressing of Giving You the Best That I Got by Anita Baker, including the original obi.

This pressing is quite rare, as it was issued shortly before Japanese record companies stopped pressing vinyl, and most copies were sold on compact disc.

About this copy: This copy of Giving You the Best That I Got is 1988 pressing on the Elektra label.

The cover is M-.  The obi is M-.  The lyric insert is M-.

The disc is M- . with a couple of spindle marks on the labels, but no marks on the vinyl.  Clean disc!

A gorgeous copy of a rare (and pretty good) album.

Background: Giving You the Best That I Got was Anita Baker’s third album, and the album reached #1 on the U.S. album charts, as did the title track, which was the album’s lead single.

The album was certified triple platinum by the RIAA for sales of more than 3 million copies.

Allmusic.com gave Giving You The Best That I Got a 4 star review:

The sizeable following that Anita Baker acquired with Rapture proved quite receptive to the only slightly less appealing Giving You the Best That I Got — an album that’s quite similar to its predecessors. Though not quite on a par with The Songstress or Rapture, Best is far superior to most of 1988’s uninspired R&B releases…. Much of Baker’s music has contained jazz overtones, but on the Brazilian-influenced, slightly bossa nova-ish “Good Enough,” Sarah Vaughan’s influence becomes even more apparent — and indicates that she is making a tremendous mistake by not recording outright jazz.
