DJ Shadow – The Outsider Instrumentals

DJ Shadow’s hyphey classic ‘The Outsider’ was originally released in 2006. The highly criticized album is definitely another DJ Shadow masterpiece no matter what’s been said. The way I see it is if people can argue whether it’s a good album or not “IT’S GOOD!”. . .and so are the instrumentals. Now recently released under Reconstruction Productions, and DJ Shadow Handmade in 2009 ‘The Outsider Instrumentals’ 180gram 2LP record comes hand numbered on the back cover, and includes a DJ Shadow collector card (1 out of 6). The album is part of DJ Shadow Handmade series which is a collection of albums including various live shows, ‘Bay Area EP’, and ‘The Outsider Instrumentals’. All and all this album is a must have for your DJ Shadow collection. You know I got mine.
