*** Towards the end of the When Broken is Easily Fixed 15 Year Anniversary tour, we realized some boxes of the limited edition tour press had gone missing. Months after the tour wrapped up, we were informed that UPS lost the boxes and shipped them back to the label. When we recovered the boxes we realized there were 30 extra records pressed than we had made covers for, so we asked Montreal based artist and long time collaborator Chris Robertson (La Press du Chat Perdu) to print some extra covers. He decided to do 30 limited prints with an “illuminated robot”. Since the original edition was out of 300, we decided to alphabetically label these copies A through Y with the additional 5 copies with the band members initials (as our personal copies).
We are selling 88 copies from the original tour press, as well as the extra 22 “illuminated robot” edition. These won’t be repressed and are no longer available on tour.
All original recordings from 2003, exclusive vinyl color w/ handmade artwork & silkscreened stock, hand numbered by the band.
