Excessive Ephemera

Mr. Nice Guy Cassette

Posted Jul 26, 2009

A cassette-only release circa 1990 from Mr. Nice Guy, whom Shadow credits for instilling his passion for 45s.  "Mr. Nice Guy was from New York, and brought out an SP-1200 and stacks of 45s.  He was able to show me all of the samples that 45 King used on his early break records.  From then on, it was a wrap."  Notice artwork by Shadow's longtime collaborator 8th Wonder.
