Steve Albini's Closet launched today

From Byron on Bluesky -

"soft opening today of site selling steve albini's archives (for his estate:) a few LPs, 45s, CDs. new mixed batch each friday for the coming year. next up - zines, books, t-shirts, fliers, poker stuff, awards, art, etc. each item shipped with a certificate of authenticity."

There's more on the "About" section of the website, but it's a great way to support Heather and get some nice records in your life.

File under: thing I clicked on so fast that spammers should take notice.

Goddamn, grab your rare records while you can (there's some Dead C stuff in there).

The stuff (as mentioned) is being released in chunks.

Is there an exact time when stuff is going to be released on Fridays? A few things I would have been interested in were already gone. Understandably. But when things get to like the Ps, Rs, and Ss, I wanna be on top of things.

Alright who bought Machine Head?

Yes.

There's a lot.

Some stuff will go to auction--it's up to Byron how that'll get done.

I don't think it's scheduled strictly, but I don't really know how he's gonna do it. There was stuff going up all day today, looked like.

Ok, thanks, will keep checking.

Was sort of wondering who bought Give 'Em Enough Rope. I thought everyone hated that album (I don't) and was sort of surprised to see that as part of Steve's collection.

Probably not played very much. Not by him anyway.

No books, tees or zines yet.

Apologies for the previous questions, I don't mean to nag. Anyway, I've made a purchase and will likely make more. Am happy to support Heather & the family and also it'll for sure be cool to own things that were once owned by Steve.
