I ended up emailing Summersteps Records a while ago about some information on this. Before Tigers Jaw were a band, they were a duo, and they released this. It is the first TJ release and it is called Belongs to the Dead.
This was only ever made as a handmade/limited CD-R. When I sent them an email they told me that they would make me my own copy. I don't usually post about CDs, but this is too cool to ignore. The songs on this have mostly been re-released/recorded as a full band, with some of the name changed. It comes in a paper sleeve, and it has a really cool insert that I am going to scan in which has some funny explainations about the songs and some things to cut out to make a tiger hat/mask.
On Friday I saw Greg from Arrest Records post about selling some copies of the test pressing from the Beartrap and Battletruk split 7inch and I jumped on it. This is out of 10 copies, of which I think about 3 or 4 were sold. These are the ONLY 10 copies of the record as the pressing never went ahead. This also means that it is the only thing Battletruk have ever released on vinyl.
There isn't a cover. There isn't anything. This was given to me in a clear inner sleeve and the only marking is the SIDE A label which you can see in the photo. There isn't even a SIDE B label.
I haven't listened to the songs yet, but both bands are fucking sick and you should check them out!
