PRE-ORDER: Madvillain – Madvillainy Demos [STONES THROW] FEB2025

Description

Artist MADVILLAIN
Title MADVILLAINY DEMOS
Label STONES THROW
Catalog # STH 2196LP

In 2002, before Madlib and MF DOOM finished Madvillainy, the first demo sequence of the album leaked online – early vocal cuts from DOOM, recorded then quickly mixed in LA at Madlib’s Bomb Shelter studio. The leak spread around the world, and while the tracks may have been unfinished, it was clear that this was a hip-hop album unlike any other…

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of Madvillainy, ‘The Demos’ is being released on vinyl for the first time, mastered by Dave Cooley, and with a new cover photo and insert of photographer Eric Coleman’s contact sheets from the original album shoot. Vinyl mastering by Phil Rodriguez.
