Simply put, the most rare big thing (major album/release) the band ever made. Less than 50 of these exist, and they were hand drawn by the band (Wyatt and Fletcher).

These were hand drawn by the band. I’ve never seen a signed, let alone, personalized copy (they dedicated 8 foot tall man to me when they’d play live at Observatory, Santa Ana while I was at their merch booth because we’re all tall). 

Wyatt’s signature is there, but Fletcher signed it as FLETCH, which, again, I’ve never seen. They rarely do more than their quick signature now, and they never personalize things anymore. 

I had been working with the band a lot (merch late 2013-mid 2014, and interviewed almost all of the Vadaverse crew)- had been to about 100 shows, photographed and covered them a ton by 2015. The band was getting a lot bigger, but still was doing smaller pressings and rare stuff like this. I had a few different versions, but I saw they were selling this on Etsy exclusively, so I went to the record store to see if they were drawing on them or hadn’t shipped them out because I didn’t have an Etsy account. 

You never see these signed because nobody would bring these to a show because they are VERY delicate, and even at the time, super, super rare.

Mine was getting stamped so the ink was fresh (hence the blur and brown smudge in the picture) - I think the long dedication Fletcher wrote didn’t help the fresh ink. 

There were less than 50 of these ever produced, and the cover is just raw cardboard (it’s got a texture on it like recycled paper/toilet paper) so these are very very very delicate. It doesn’t have a gloss cover, so it need to be stored very well away from moisture, natural oils from a hand (I’d honestly wear gloves holding this) - but the only was only played once and it sounds INCREDIBLE. This is “toxic waste green” and it looks really cool, especially with a flash on it as per the picture. Mostly tiny long swirls of yellow on the B side.  

Can write more if interested! Still have a bunch more rare releases from them from back in the day, but this is the absolute rarest of the big things they did. 

Message me for any other questions, happy to talk/answer anything.

This is the craziest grail item for any Garden fan. I’ve stored it incredibly well this whole time, and besides a seam split on the top from storage (pictured)- and the smudges from being freshly signed and stamped, this is in incredibly good shape. The records themselves are immaculate.
