http://www.fastbreakent.com/records.cfm It's live recordings from their sets at East Coast Tsunami 2010. It's a bit pricey. There's three variants. One is /300 and the other 2 are /100.

Can anyone confirm this? I'd like to pick this up.

They have confirmed on their Twitter page that this will not be repressed. As of yesterday, there was less then 100 left. http://twitter.com/#!/Bongripperdoom/status/98793702784372736

Do you have a list of the stores that are carrying it?

Ah, I wasn't sure. I just came across it now. I search the board for Cock Sparrer, but nothing came up.

Do you have a list of what stores will carry it?

As a side note, for any other fans of his, Stones Throw recently released a mixtape he mad called Soul With a Hole Vol. 1. None of the material on it is his, but it's still a really good listen and worth checking out.

I love Mayer Hawthorne. However, I am not going to start collecting his vinyl as I can already tell it's going to start to get way out of hand especially with his rising popularity. I'm going to see him a few times in the next couple of months (his tour with Nikki Jean, his tour with Passion Pit, his Coachella appearance, his SXSW shows) and if there's any special pressings I'd be happy to pick them up for you. As for what you have already, I am pretty sure you are missing quite a few pieces. The only one that instantly comes to mind is the tour pressing of A Strange Arrangement from his tour last fall (the one with other guys from the Athletic Mic League). This pressing was the same as the others but the cover was raised/textured. I believe it was called the Reptilian cover or something of that nature because it resembled the skin of a reptile. I know my friend picked up a copy of it when he passed through Philly and I could ask her to send me a pic if you can't find anything else about it.
