Straight Outta Compton

Signed by photographer Eric Poppleton on the front cover, with a lengthy inscription describing how he came to shoot the famous image of the L.A. hip hop band, reading in part "All of us including the band were starting our careers in the arts. This cover was created ‘On The Fly' in a downtown Los Angeles alleyway. The revolver in the image was real and hopefully 'Eazy-E' unloaded it. None of us knew how iconic this album cover would become."
