Jay Dee
Deelicious (The Delicious Vinyl Years 95-98)

Listening notes

Jay Dee's Deelicious (The Delicious Vinyl Years 95-98), released on Delicious Vinyl under catalog number DV 9033, is a two-sided vinyl compilation drawing together work the producer completed for that label during the period indicated in its subtitle. The release falls under the genres of hip-hop, instrumental, and jazzy hip-hop.

The first side presents eleven tracks running a combined total that reflects a substantial body of work from those years. It opens with "Runnin'" at five minutes and four seconds, followed by a sequence of vocal and remix material including "Sometimes (Remix)," "Somethin' That Means Somethin'," "She Said (Remix)," "Whatever You Want (Remix)," and "Drop," the latter being the longest track on the side at five minutes and forty-four seconds. The side continues with "Saturday Night (Remix)," "Bullsh*t," "Y? (Remix)," "Bullsh*ttin' (Remix)," and closes with "Splattitorium" at two minutes and fifty-eight seconds.

The second side is structured as an instrumental counterpart, presenting nine of the same compositions stripped of vocals. It opens with the instrumental version of "Runnin'" and moves through corresponding versions of the tracks featured on the first side, concluding with "Bullsh*ttin' (Remix Instrumental)." Notably, "Whatever You Want (Remix)" does not appear in instrumental form on the second side, making it one of two tracks from side one without a direct instrumental equivalent alongside "Splattitorium."

The double-sided format gives the release a particular utility for listeners and selectors interested in the instrumental versions of the material. No release year is confirmed in the available documentation for this entry, and the catalog number DV 9033 is the primary identifying reference for the pressing.
