To commemorate one year since the passing of beloved musician/engineer Steve Albini, his estate has launched a web site dubbed Steve Albini’s Closet to sell highlights from his vast collection of vinyl, CDs, original art and books, plus yet-to-be-detailed books, zines, t-shirts, posters, “enthusiasms” and “mysterious bargains.”

“Steve pursued many fields of interest, and most of them are represented somewhere in his collections,” reads a note on the site, the listings on which will be updated weekly. “All items purchased are accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from the collection’s administrator, Byron Coley, and the proceeds are directed towards Steve’s estate.”

Several items, many of which he personally engineered, have already been sold, including numerous Didjits LPs and dozens of CDs.

Albini, who oversaw Nirvana’s In Utero, Pixies’ Surfer Rosa and PJ Harvey’s Rid of Me, among many other classic albums, died of a heart attack on May 7, 2024, at the age of 61. His band Shellac’s final studio album, To All Trains, was released 10 days later.
