Common and J Dilla ‎– The Light - Wax Poetics Japan ‎– PROT-7003/4

Limited to 500 copies worldwide. Mint AA++ backstock warehouse copies. 

QR 11028  limited marbled vinyl 2xLP + 2 posters + 2 stickers 

We dedicated this package to both Common and J Dilla and started this vinyl compilation project to commemorate the issue and to pay respect to the two greats. We had the chance to get Common's blessing on the project in September when he came to Japan, and we are extremely happy that the campaign was a success. Sadly, one of the best to ever do it, and hero to all of us, J Dilla is not with us anymore but a part of the proceeds are going to J Dilla's family. The compilation is a product of 500 fans of Common, J Dilla, and loyal readers of Wax Poetics Japan coming together to actualize something tangible. Though all of these tracks can be listened to digitally very easily, we feel that actually owning these songs on a piece of vinyl, and dropping the needle in the groove is the best way to truly enjoy and appreciate these timeless tracks, and we hope the compilation becomes something you will want to keep with you for years to come.

Instead of the usual black vinyl, we have decided to go with marble colored vinyl, to symbolize the mix of the duo’s singular talents. If you love Common and/or Dilla’s music, this is one compilation you do not want to miss.

All plans include A3 (H420×W297mm) sized posters of Common and J Dilla as well as two types of Wax Poetics stickers.
