DESCRIPTION
We're celebrating 20 years of J Dilla's Donuts with a brand new Anniversary Audiophile Edition, shipping now exclusively from the Stones Throw store. For those of you outside the US, don't worry - international record shops will have pre-orders coming soon.
The Donuts Audiophile Edition is lacquer cut at Bernie Grundman and manufactured at Fidelity Record Pressing - 2LP 180g vinyl at 45rpm. Deluxe art printed Stoughton jacket. Watch a behind-the-scenes of the making of here. We have the Donuts "Smile" cover available, too.
Donuts began simply enough - an idea to turn a good demo tape into a full-length album. It would end up being one of the defining works of J Dilla's life. Completed during the year Dilla spent in and out of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and released on his birthday - February 7, 2006, Donuts gained particular poignancy when he died three days later on February 10th.
