Crate digger/beat master extraordinaire DJ Shadow (a.k.a. Josh Davis) is releasing a best-of compilation featuring highlights from his lengthy career. Due out on September 3, Reconstructed: The Best Of DJ Shadow will include 16 tracks including collaborations with Little Dragon, Richard Ashcroft, Terry Reid and Chris James. Reconstructed… will contain two previously unreleased tracks, “Listen” and “Won’t You Be.”
Given Shadow’s passion for all things vinyl, he will be offering a box set, designed by Trevor Jackson, limited to 500 copies worldwide. The man himself will personally sign each set which will include 8 discs, 1 x 12″ vinyl record, as well as a booklet, featuring an essay by music writer Dave Tompkins, and an array of images by notable photographer B+. The box set will be available via Shadow’s website.
The best-of release comes after Shadow’s most recent studio album, 2011’s The Less You Know, the Better. You can catch Shadow on tour this summer and into the fall. Check his extensive list of upcoming tour dates here.
