Zimbabwe Legit (Shadows Legitimate Mix) was his 2nd release (if im not
wrong), released by Hollywood Basic in 1991 and allso featured on the
HeadzII compilation (+ one of the HeadzII Sampler 12"s).

In/Flux is without doubt THE most classic Dj Shadow track. The original
12" (released by Mo'Wax in 1993) might be alittle hard to find but the
track is allso on the Headz compilation. Actually, the first time the
term "trip-hop" was used was in a review of this 12" in Mixmag (even tho
its NOT "trip-hop"..its h i p h o p !!!)

What Does Your Soul Look Like (Mo'Wax, 1994) has somewhat the same vibe
as the stuff on Endtroducing. Originaly this consists of 4 parts which
all in all should be somewhere around 30 minutes long (!!!!), the 12" is
more or less impossible to find but you can get part 1 and 2 on the
compilation "Story Of Mo'Wax" (released by german label Marlboro Music)
and part 4 (i think) is on Endtroducing.

Lost & Found was released as a split-12" with Shadow and Krush
("Kemuri") on Mo'Wax. you'll allso find it on the Headz compilation.

Then ofcourse theres the stuff he's released on hisown label,
Solesides... most of it has got more of a hiphop vibe than the Mo'Wax
releases...

Entropy is one of my alltime shadow faves... i wish he would do more
stuff like this!
