We're celebrating 20 years of J Dilla's Donuts with a brand new Anniversary Audiophile Edition. 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. When J Dilla, aka Detroit’s James Yancey, made Donuts, he was 31 years old and widely celebrated as a producer of rare talent, having worked with Erykah Badu, D’Angelo, and De La Soul, among many others. He had an encyclopedic knowledge of obscure jazz, funk, and soul, and, as a talented drummer in his own right, he brought a rare sense of groove to the samples he chopped up on his trusty Akai MPC. 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 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.
