The Roots: "Things Fall A Preview" (Mixtape by DJ Jazzy Jeff)
Posted by dantana on Oct 13, 2008
First of all, and we generally say this every year on this day, F$*@ CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS. And now that that's out of the way, it's time for another OkayThrowback. Here we have OKPs tREBLEFREE and handle to thank for liberating The Roots' 10 year old Things Fall Apart album sampler mixed by DJ Jazzy Jeff from its cassette form into digital download.
The Roots: Things Fall A Preview (MCA-4P-90170)
Mixed by DJ Jazzy Jeff

Links to scans of the front and back of the sleeve as well as the cassette itself, after the jump. I have one of these, somewhere. Oh, and I probably have about 20 of the "running girl" posters at the crib. Ginger suggested we get ?uesto to sign them and put them in the store.

To encode in perfect quality using VBR (variable bit rate), install latest LAME MP3 CODEC and choose this switch -v0 (= best vbr quality often used in the w@rez scene). To extract audio, I suggest you to use EAC (Exact Audio Copy).

I second that idea on a "fans picking photos" competition! As well as supporting another OK Playa Photo Month! Looking forward to getting this downloaded away from work! Peace...

Ah yes cassettes. I took a pick of the Organix cassette album cover a few years back.

Thanks guys for the throwback mixtape. Sorry I never got an original copy. And I have the Things Fall Apart CD with the burnt down church cover. As a lover of photography I really liked the multiple black and white covers that The Roots did.
They should do it again and maybe get some fans to submit options that they can pic five from. I would definitely enter a competition like that.
