A preserved collector's pressing of Man on the Moon: The End of Day on double vinyl 2xLP, Kid Cudi's landmark debut studio album, released September 15, 2009, on Dream On, G.O.O.D. Music, and Universal Motown. Structured as a five-act concept album and narrated by Common, Man on the Moon: The End of Day redefined the emotional range of hip-hop at the turn of the decade. Produced by an extraordinary roster including Kanye West, No I.D., Emile Haynie, Dot da Genius, and Jeff Bhasker, the album gave the world "Day N Nite," "Pursuit of Happiness," and "Soundtrack 2 My Life" — songs that became generational touchstones for listeners navigating anxiety, loneliness, and self-discovery. The album debuted at #4 on the Billboard 200 and Top Rap Albums chart, and was later certified Gold.
More than fifteen years on, Man on the Moon: The End of Day is widely recognized as one of the most influential rap albums of the 21st century — a record that opened the door for introspective, genre-blending hip-hop and built the foundation for artists from Drake to Post Malone. Its 2xLP format, housed in a full-color gatefold jacket, remains one of the most sought-after pressings in any serious vinyl collection. Features guest appearances from MGMT, Ratatat, Kanye West, Common, and Chip tha Ripper.
