They will be sold on Steve Albini’s Closet, a website launched a year after the engineer’s death, which describes itself as an “entity created to distribute the treasures amassed by the late polymath.”

Between 100 and 200 new items will be uploaded to the site each Friday, with proceeds going to benefit Albini’s estate. “Somewhere in the stacks, about 4,000 pieces wait their turn, plus a corner for the smaller curiosities.”

The collection includes albums, CDs, books, cassettes, singles, alongside zines, shirts, posters, flyers and original art.
