Dr. Dre – Nuthin' But A 'G' Thang / Dre Day (US Promo 12", Interscope SPRO 6662, Allied/Rainbo, Extended Side B Variant)

An original 1993 US promotional 12" single by Dr. Dre featuring "Nuthin' But A 'G' Thang" / "Dre Day (And Everybody's Celebratin')", released on Interscope/Death Row Records (SPRO 6662). This copy features the Side A matrix SPRO-6662-A-Z1 with hand-etched S-27624 — identifying this as the highly coveted Allied Record Company lacquer / Rainbo Records pressing variant, one of three known pressing variants of this promo. The lacquer was cut at Allied Record Company (Los Angeles) and shipped to Rainbo Records (Canoga Park, CA) — Death Row's premier West Coast pressing facility — for pressing. All original materials intact. Near mint condition throughout.

This is the most sought-after of the three known variants, distinguished by its Side B featuring the rare 12-minute extended version of "Puffin' On Blunts and Drankin' Tanqueray" — an extended cut found only on select promo pressings and essentially unavailable on any other format. Combined with the Allied/Rainbo production chain, original promo sleeve, and NM condition, this is one of the finest copies of one of the most collectible Death Row promo 12"s in existence. From The Chronic era that redefined West Coast hip-hop and popular music entirely.
