The Special 12 Singles Series
The Special 12 Singles Series is a series of twelve, 7 inch singles released by Gold Standard Laboratories in 2005; one for each month. Subscriptions were available for either January through June, July through December, or all 12 singles. Select tracks from this series were released as a digital album on iTunes on October 3, 2006, with an extended version of "Live Private Booths". Alavaz Relxib Cirdec is a pseudonym used by Cedric Bixler-Zavala and in fact, it's his name backwards. There were 500 copies of each single pressed by GSL and are now fairly rare.
The tracks by Omar Rodríguez-López and John Frusciante were recorded in Spring 2003.
