Back late 2005 when Stones Throw were getting ready to release J Dilla's Donuts, they made a casual decision to use a drawing for the cover of the vinyl release, rather than the standard cover photo of Dilla used for the other releases. Fast forward 6 years to 2011, and a certain retailer asked Stones Throw if they could carry the album in their stores. Of course, they say. One other request, they say, we'd like the cover with Dilla's face? Well, why not? So here they are: J Dilla's classic album Donuts, available with either classic cover—while supplies last.
