Drum And Bass Compilation Appraisal

Moving Shadow 99.1 CD Album

This item is a compact disc (CD) music album titled 'moving shadow 99.1', presented in a clear, rigid acrylic or plastic slab-style protective case. The case appears to be a grading or archival encapsulation, indicating that the item has either been professionally graded or sealed for long-term preservation, similar to how trading cards or comic books are often slabbed. The CD cover art is visible through the clear casing, showcasing a modern, abstract design with shades of blue, red, and black, featuring angular geometric shapes. The title '99.1' is prominently displayed in a bold, white sans-serif font, with 'moving shadow' in a smaller, lighter font above it. A distinctive stylized horse or unicorn emblem is present on the right side of the album art. Textual details on the cover mention 'MIX CD BY TIMECODE', 'BONUS CD FEATURING SPECIAL UNRELEASED MIX BY E-Z ROLLERS', and 'CD ROM SECTION FEATURING THE PROMOTIONAL FILM FOR THE FORTHCOMING ROCKSTAR GAME - GTA (Grand Theft Auto)'. This last detail, particularly the mention of 'Rockstar Game' and 'GTA', strongly dates the item to the late 1990s or early 2000s, aligning with the release period of early Grand Theft Auto titles. The case itself shows no significant visible damage, scratches, or wear, suggesting it is well-preserved. There are no obvious manufacturer's markings or signatures discernible on the exterior of the slab. The item's condition, encased in a protective slab, suggests an emphasis on preservation and collector appeal, making its inherent quality as a musical release (electronic/drum & bass label Moving Shadow) combined with its association with a popular video game franchise, potentially significant for enthusiasts of both music and gaming history.
