### Nujabes & Hydeout Productions Vinyl Collection
All credit goes to Reddit user **2muchrubik**, who runs the Nujabes & Hydeout Productions Restoration Project on his [blog](http://nujabesproject.blogspot.com/). I've only compiled all of his rips (as of 6.6.2023) here for ease of download.
2muchrubik has ripped and scanned nearly every vinyl release by Nujabes/Hydeout Productions/Hydeout Recordings and graciously uploaded them to his blog over the past four years. Some of these songs have never been released digitally, and the ones that have still often (not always) sound better on vinyl thanks to the vinyl's better mastering and much less egregious compression.
I'm pretty sure 2muchrubik's project is still ongoing, so be sure to check out his blog for any future releases.
**Notes**
* HOR-059 also includes a CD rip of the 2006 album *Melodica* by Nica.
* HPD13TR is a CD + 7-inch vinyl combo.
* Nas - One Love (Dimention Ball Remix) is a remix Nujabes did in 1998 when he used the Dimention Ball name. This is also the first track he ever released AFAIK.
**A few highlights among the vinyl**
* The full 6-minute version of "Child's Attraction" (digital version is 3min25s).
* A slightly different mix of "Flowers" from before the *Modal Soul* album.
* A different mix of "It's About Time" than what's on Pase Rock's 2003 *Bullshit as Usual* album.
* "Imaginary Folklore" and "F.I.L.O" sound vastly superior to their CD album versions.
* Save for two tracks, it's now possible to build a better-sounding vinyl-only version of *Hydeout Productions (First Collection)* (I haven't heard the 2019 vinyl release of this album, but I'm guessing it sounds similar to the 2003 CD).
