December 10, 2025

An audiophile treasure, this 2-disc **Crashbox** LP is pressed on custom turquoise 180g virgin vinyl at 45 RPM from an ultra high-resolution 24bit/192kHz audio master. *Crashbox* is the perfect kick-off to this Special Limited Collector’s Edition series!!

Alma Records/Universal Music proudly announces the first entry in its new Special Limited Collector’s Edition vinyl series: *Crashbox*, the new album from internationally acclaimed Emmy-winning singer/songwriter Don Breithaupt and his celebrated band Monkey House. This exclusive audiophile pressing arrives in Canada on December 5 and the rest of the world on December 12.

*Crashbox* Special Limited Collector’s Edition LP will be available everywhere vinyl is sold. Pre-order from your favourite store HERE.

The first 300 units — ONLY available at shopalmarecords.com — are sequentially numbered. In addition, each contains a signed LITHO by Don Breithaupt himself. Pre-order soon while stock lasts.

As the ultimate collector’s prize — also ONLY available at shopalmarecords.com — we are going to auction copy number 001/300, offering fans a chance to own a true piece of Monkey House history. The winner of the auction will also receive a personal note that will accompany the vinyl, as well as a private Zoom call with Don. Enter the auction HERE.

Released on CD and streaming, Dolby Atmos, and hi-res digital platforms on June 6, 2025, *Crashbox* was hailed as a bold, genre-blending statement, featuring Monkey House’s core lineup — Justin Abedin (guitar), Pat Kilbride (bass), Mark Kelso (drums) — and special guests Michael Leonhart (Steely Dan), Drew Zingg (Boz Scaggs), and powerhouse vocalists Michael Dunston and Selena Evangeline. Recorded live at Noble Street Studios in Toronto and meticulously produced by Peter Cardinali with Grammy-winning engineer John “Beetle” Bailey.

The new vinyl pressing of *Crashbox* gives fans the chance to experience this landmark recording with the warmth, depth, and fidelity only audiophile vinyl can deliver.

This release also marks the launch of Alma’s Special Limited Collector’s Edition vinyl series — a curated line designed for true collectors. Each limited edition will feature unique pressings and premium packaging. The next title, Monkey House’s *Friday*, will follow on March 20, 2026.
