Up for auction is an extremely rare piece of Hip Hop History.
This LP was a part of the late great J Dilla's Record Collection. Back in 2012/2013, a portion of J DIlla's record collection was discovered in a storage locker. This eventually led to Ma Dukes(J Dilla's Mother) selling much of the collection here on eBay. You can read about the story here:
The listings on eBay were a flat price, then a record would be picked at random by Ma Dukes and shipped to you with Paperwork and a Certificate of Authenticity. It also included the original plastic record sleeve with a yellow "J Dilla" collection sticker on it. When I purchased this back in 2013 I had no idea what record I would get. I ended up receiving "Crystal Texts" a German Jazz album from 1979 by James Newton &  Anthony Davis. I soon realized this was one of the records that was hanging on J Dilla's wall in his Detroit Basement Studio. It can be spotted in one of his iconic photos with Slum Village(I included this photo in the listing). This album may have been sampled by J Dilla but I am not sure, what I do know is that this is definitely a special piece of Hip Hop history. I hope this album will go to a collector who appreciates it as much as I do.
