If you’ve been following Now-Again for the past couple years, you know that Egon’s been selling pieces from his record collection in a series of pop up record shops at Rappcats. This time, it’s Egon’s buddy – collector extraordinaire DJ Shadow – doing the selling. While Shadow’s not selling his collection, he is pulling back the curtain on a brace of dupes he’s managed to process over the last few years. Expect a strange and broad assortment of lesser-seen vinyl in all genres, most offered under $15, and with an effort to price well below established online value. “This is a chance for producers, dealers, and DJ’s to access seldom-seen and eclectic vinyl at affordable prices,” says Shadow. “These are all records I have other copies of, and I’ve decided that I don’t need to keep multiples. Think of it as a year-long thrift-store hunt consolidated into two days.”

In addition, there’s the outliers: good music in unfairly ignored formats such as 8-Track, reel-to-reel, and cassette. The man himself will of course be on hand to sign anything and everything, or just to say hello. Love music? Love records? Love hanging out with cool folks? Then you’ll have a good time at The First Annual DJ Shadow Storage Sale. See you there!
