Last week, it was record nerd Christmas and New Year’s Eve all at once, as DJ Shadow returned to LA for the third time in as many years to sell off records from his collection. There’s always amazing records at these sales, 95% I’ve never seen or heard of before, which is always a humbling experience for a collector. But that is part of why people dig Shadow so much. He has exceptional, diverse tastes and pulls records no one has ever seen before. Below are most of the records I picked up, more than a few of which will find there way onto this site in the near future (though the maxim “with all deliberate speed,” might be the most apt way of thinking about when they actually will get up here). Enjoy!
