From Steve Albini's shelves: Music gems for sale

Flashback: Albini died suddenly last May at the age of 61.

• He famously recorded Nirvana's "In Utero" album, as well as the Pixies and PJ Harvey, and fronted the Chicago bands Big Black and Shellac.

State of play: The first 300-400 items dropped Friday, and nearly all sold out. Each week 100-200 more items of "the unusual, the rare, the weird and the overlooked" will be available, according to the website.

• "Det som engang var," an album by the Norwegian black metal solo project Burzum is still available with a list price of $1,500.
• All items purchased are accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from the collection's administrator, Byron Coley.

What they're saying: "Steve pursued many fields of interest, and most of them are represented somewhere in his collections," according to the website.

• "Somewhere in the stacks, about 4,000 pieces wait their turn, plus a corner for the smaller curiosities. No grand plan apart from the slow unveiling of oddities and treasures, week after week, for the next year."
