Brainfreeze was recorded by DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist as a practice session for a show in February 1999 at the Future Primitive Soundsession (San Francisco) mixing funk and soul 45's. Initially 1000 copies were made and sold at the shows, and a further 1000 copies were made and distributed to local records stores in California and sold out very quickly. A cease-and-desist letter from 7-11 Convenience stores—the whole artwork and styling was based on their logos and uniforms—meant that they stopped and moved on. The album was then bootlegged and it can now be found in popular record shops. (Wikipedia)
Interesting fact about this record: The 45's that Shadow and Chemist used to record this are extremely rare and every time they were scratched the vinyl would get damaged and deteriorate. Shadow and Chemist did the whole record in one take because they couldn't risk damaging the out-of-print vinyl anymore.
