''Since U Been Gone''

Update... 

...and then out of the blue, this skeleton image appears on FU's instagram. So it looks like the above picture shows the front of the sleeve and the ones below show the back. Or vice versa. Probably.

2006- Since You've Been Gone 10" acetate - bootleg

From 'Partial Discography' (Published 2008):

There are 2 known (to the person writing this) FU 10"s; the Altamont 10" was released after this picture was taken.

Close-up of the 10" record:
Appears to be hand-numbered 1/25

Ayo, so does the Since U Been Gone 10" actually exist? I got word that Damian had the acetate and that it was never pressed.

it exists. there are 3.

Acetate (master disk) - Text copied from from Misfits Central:

The first step in the record pressing process is the creation of the master disk, or acetate, which is cut directly from the master tape of the recording. An acetate is a piece of aluminum coated with a layer of vinyl, into which grooves are cut, like a record. Unlike records, however, acetates are usually (see below) one sided, and come in pairs, one for each side of the album. They also often have two center holes; one hole is the standard center hole which acts as the axis for rotation, and the other hole is used by the guiding arm to turn the acetate while the writing stylus cuts the grooves. Some plants now use single-holed acetates which are held in place by suction.

One or, at most, two acetate sets are typically made for an album. Due to their composition, acetates begin to lose their sound quality within a matter of days. If an acetate is not used within three days, another set needs to be cut, or the sound quality of the finished product will suffer. For this reason, the acetate pair is sent immediately (via express mail) to the plater.

From eBay: ''Hey, this is Josh aka Gulag from Fucked Up selling this record on behalf of the band. It is the "David's Plan" b/w "Do They Know It's Christmas?" 7" we released in February 2010. We pressed 2500 of these records, BUT THIS COPY IS ON CAMO GREEN COLOURED VINYL and there are only around 50 of these in existence. As far as I know a copy has never been sold before. You probably didn't even know this existed.''
All of the proceeds from this auction will go to the 3 groups based in Canada working to end the epidemic of missing and murdered aboriginal women that this record is a benefit for. 

Notes:

FU Webstore:

IN OTHER NEWS
Do They Know It's Christmas, our cover version was voted single of the week over at The Guardian, because our friend writes the column and there isn't actually any voting. Since we've been monitoring it's progress on iTunes, I can tell you for sure that if it was a vote, single of the week would be some Lady GaGa song, followed closely by like 10 Taylor Swift songs. Anyhow, maybe you could buy our song. It's for charity.
