Kicking off 808-day, Roland has announced the offer of limited-edition TR-808 Serato vinyl pressing, when you buy a DJ-808 controller.
The exclusive, collectible double-pack includes beats from the likes of Just Blaze, DJ QBert, Marley Marl, Egyptian Lover and Machinedrum. The tracks are joined by locked grooves on side one and a control tone for Serato DVS on side two.
The DJ-808, launched two years ago, can operate as a standalone mixer and utilising its phono inputs, can make full use of the TR-808 vinyl.
To get your hands on this soon-to-be rare cutting, head on over to the Roland website.
