Don Caballero’s First Recording Ever To Be Released!

PREORDER! Ships on/around 1 June 2014.

UPDATE (27 May): Due to production delays on the bonus record, preorders won’t ship until late June. A million apologies.

December 1991. Mere months into their existence, a three-piece Don Caballero drove to the Carnegie Mellon campus and knocked out eleven songs. On this, their earliest-known studio recording, the nascent Pittsburgh titans crank out jams that would appear in different form on early singles and their debut full-length, For Respect. Two songs would never make it onto a proper record and are here for the first time ever. As a special bonus, the band’s second live show is included as an additional download along with the record.

Features:
Lacquers cut at Chicago Mastering Service
Gatefold jacket
Download code includes bonus recording ("Look At Those Ellie May Hands Go!") of Don Caballero performing live in Winter ’92. Their second show ever.

Mastered by Drew Crumbaugh
Lacquers cut by Bob Weston
Vinyl pressed at Erika
All copies thru mail order on CLEAR VINYL which is unavailable in stores.

"Look At Those Ellie May Hands Go". The live recording provided on limited black vinyl with all orders. NOT AVAILABLE IN STORES! Of course, while supplies last. To be clear: "Five Pairs" on clear. "Ellie Mae" on black. Got it? Good.
