First released in 1996, the record is a genre-defying masterpiece that has helped redefine sample-based music.
In celebration of its 25th anniversary, Island Records are releasing a special remastered vinyl edition of this groundbreaking record, plus a 7″ single featuring isolated elements from the album.
The forthcoming
Endtroducing 25 Abbey Road Half-Speed Mastered edition will be released on 24 September on gatefold, double 12″ vinyl and features totally remastered audio taken from the original master tape and cut at half speed by
Miles Showell at Abbey Road.
DJ Shadow explains, “I was so happy to have recently discovered the original DAT tape that served as the final mix source of the album, and was able to provide it for the remaster just in time for this release. When comparing the new version with the old, I was shocked at how many audible details were revealed that I had completely forgotten about.”
In tandem with the remastered album, DJ Shadow is dropping a separate bonus 7″ – also out 24 September – featuring Cut Chemist’s classic remix of The Number Song plus a new DJ tool created especially for the release, Endtroducing: Drums, Drops & Scratches.
