Pink Handshakes

Let's take a quick dive into a record that I know painfully little about. Everything that I'm going on here is left down to nothing but complete guesswork and assumption, so if anyone can help then it would be pretty cool to know! 

Dear Landlord - Heartbroken Handshakes - No Idea Records - 1st Press - Pink Marble /?

Okay so here's what I know about this record. It was originally given away with 1st press pre-orders of Dream Homes way back in 2009 I think. Maybe a bunch were made on mix and popped in to the sleeve. Fast forward to sometime late last year ish and No Idea found a bunch of these records without a home, made covers up and sold them through their webstore. 

Here's the fun part though. as it was never a record in it's own right and sold purely through another record at pre-order, there is no pressing info through the No Idea Discography page. So how many were made in the first instance is a mystery; how many were left over is pretty much the same. Also, it seems that the only colours left were green and pink, so the new covers were made up to correlate with the variant. 

Back Cover // B-Side 

Both sides play the same songs. Lake Ontario is a demo of the same track that ended up on Dream Homes, and Heartbroken Handshakes is great as you would expect. 

Photocopied quaterfold covers with everything you need to know on the back panel. 

So there we go. A cool little thing that I missed out on the first time round and something I still don't know anything about. 

Thanks for reading!
