Gold Standard Lab's "The Special 12 Singles Series" from 2005 - one 7" released every month to celebrate 12 years of music making. Sadly, this was one of the final grand statements from GSL before closing their doors. But this series stands as a monument to what was and what could have been from this truly-groundbreaking label. All 7"s come on super heavy wax, and all are colored vinyl - either clear or solid - with multi-colored splatters throughout - stunning to see put together! Only played a few times. I am the original owner. Stored in the custom PVC windowpane sleeve that came with people who subscribed to the series. These were never released individually. Most every track here is an exclusive. A true must have for any deep At The Drive-In or Mars Volta Fan.

Omar Rodriguez-Lopez & John Frusciante "0=2/0" Cedric Bixler-Zavala "Live Private Booths/Sapta-Loka" Free Moral Agents "The Piano Has Been Drinking/If You Can't Say Love" Kill Me Tomorrow and Xiu Xiu "Drugged Ink/Red Croissant" Favorite Sons "No One Ever Dies Young/Pistols & Girls"
The Eternals "Space Dancehall/Rawar Style"
Dmonstrations "Eight Cans Deep/Silencer"
Gogogo Airheart "So Good/Tell The Truth"

The Jai-Alai Savant "Diary Of The Mass Trappist/Diary Of The Dub Trappist"
Starlight Desperation and Indian Jewelry "Lost My Bees/Going South"
Sabertooth Tiger "Death Valley/Love $$$$"

The Xiu Xiu has gone for around $70, and the Cedric has gone for over $100 and the Omar + Frusciante for over $150! This may be your one chance to snag the complete set. (no i will not break it up)

Records are all in EX conditions. The PVC windowpane sleeve is VG+. It has the original The Special 12 Singles Series sticker in the top left hand corner. There a couple small seam splits that are virtually impossible to prevent with these clear PVC packages.
