Album artwork for Return to the 36 Chambers (Dirty Version) by Ol' Dirty Bastard

It's safe to say that hip-hop has never seen an
album like Ol’ Dirty Bastard's 1995 solo debut
Return to the 36 Chambers. The brief glimpses of
ODB's unhinged genius provided by Wu-Tang
Clan's landmark Enter the Wu-Tang album two
years earlier were begging to be expanded on to a
larger canvas, and, with RZA guiding production,
the album promised to give Dirty the creative
license to make one of the most bizarre,
entertaining and original LPs in hip-hop history.
With his raspy, drunken flow and dark sense of
humor, Dirty fearlessly attacks from all angles,
throwing himself fearlessly into punchy rhyme
attacks (“Damage,” with GZA), drugged-out party
jams (the monster singles “Brooklyn Zoo” and
“Shimmy Shimmy Ya”) and bizarre, grimly hilarious
fantasies of sex and violence (“Don't U Know” and
the R&B-tinged “Sweet Sugar Pie”).
Backed by RZA's appropriately gritty, dissonant
beats and appearances from the Clan, Return
became an instant hit, selling over 1 million copies
and earning a Grammy Award nomination for Best
Rap Album in 1996. The album stands as a high
water mark in the Wu-Tang Clan's collective
creative output and was selected as one of the Best
100 Rap Albums by The Source magazine in 1998.
In honoring the legacy of one of hip-hop's
most innovative releases, Get On Down is proud to
present this incredible and unique special edition of
Ol’ Dirty Bastard's Return to the 36 Chambers as a

double LP which contains the complete orig
