Review by awillhoite Jun 09, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)

Another ploy by our friend Josh Davis “DJ Shadow” to steal funds from seemingly unsuspecting fans, beware. Possibly the worst thirty dollars I’ve ever spent. When I heard of the re-release I was stoked the package sounded great, New Liner Notes Booklet, Alternate Takes, Demos, B-Sides but the price was a bit steep. I figured its DJ Shadow you can’t go wrong, right? Wrong. The second disc is a shoddily compiled list of tracks already released on singles Demos lasting no longer than a minute and a half and Alternate takes no different than the originals less scratching and samples. Don’t get me wrong I’d pay thirty dollars for just Endtroducing by itself its quite possible one of my favorite albums of all times but adding this second disc is just an insult to all Shadow fans and himself. In giving the booklet a once through I notice an advertisement for the new book entitled Endtroducing. The book is dedicated to the recording of Shadow’s first full length. Is that not the most pretentious thing you’ve ever heard? Makes me wonder what’s next the DJ Shadow the movie? Man I haven’t been this heated since the release of Private Press.
