The vinyl record industry's waste problem just got a whole lot worse. Australian band Private Function is selling copies of their latest record on a vinyl disc supposedly filled with their piss.
You know what isn't a private function anymore? Going to the bathroom, apparently. The limited "gold" pressing of their upcoming album 370HSSV 0773H was pre-ordered by fifty lucky fans before the discs' contents were made public. Because it's been a fairly lucrative experiment, Private Function has yet to release images of the number one pressing.
An Instagram Reel shows the band before and after collecting their, uh, samples, set to someone humming the word "pee" repeatedly to the tune of "Mr. Sandman" — still a better use of the song than Meghan Trainor's "Mother."
"Congratulations to the 50 people who ordered the 'Gold' version of our new record," reads the Reel's caption. "You just bought a liquid disc full of our piss. We worked with local legends @saltydog.records to build the world's first piss-filled record, it turns out it's really hard."
The band is aware of some of the risks of a release like this: "Please don't use our DNA to commit crimes," the caption continues. That said, if they're telling the truth about the release, the urine-filled record would be illegal to sell in South Australia.
Apparently, Private Function are having fun with other vinyl copies of 370HSSV 0773H, with another edition featuring a scratch-off lottery ticket with the chance to win $2,999. The album — in its not-pee-related forms — will be released on March 31.
Watch the announcement video below — and don't worry, we don't kink shame around here.
