The origin of this record is a mystery that's long haunted message boards like Vinyl Collective. From what I can tell, one hasn't surfaced on eBay since 2012. It's kind of like the loch ness monster.
What I can tell you is I imported this record from Japan myself, spun it once (it sounded good), and brought it to a show to have Andrew sign. He has no idea where it came from, either. From my research, I have gathered it is a Japanese bootleg. The outer slip is flimsy paper (not quite card stock) with a Ready Break sticker slapped on. The label on the record misspells Break as Breake. The whole thing is kind of a mess, but this record isn't pressed otherwise, so why not bid on this one of a kind collector's item? I don't know anyone else who has seen this record, much less own it, so I am personally doubtful that another one will ever end up on eBay anytime soon.
I am only selling this record because I'm depleting my entire LP collection. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
