Madvillainy 2: The Madlib Remix 2LP

Madvillainy 2: The Madlib Remix was originally released in CD form in Madvillainy 2: The Box (2008) and released only with the box set. White labels of the vinyl have been kicking around for a while, but we finally decided to get it done right. Some might say it’s sacrilege to revisit an album like Madvillainy, but Madlib’s never been one to respect convention. Like many of his best works, he made this one for himself – headphone listening pleasure before a ten-hour plane ride to Tokyo. But this reworking (we hate to say remix) was so good that after we sat with it for a while, we decided that we had to make it available. The double LP comes for the first time with a cover, with download card, plus the 12-page mini-comic/booklet. The comic, titled “Meanwhile..,” is a continuation of the story that began in the “All Caps” video – both by James Reitano. Cover by Jeff Jank, Photos by Eric Coleman.
