Print Is Dead Vol 1 is the first side project album by . The album was released on 6 November 2006 via V2 Records. Each song on the album features collaborating with guests from current British bands.
An explanation of the album and its motivation is printed in the sleeve:
"We all used to make each other mix tapes when we were at school, or at least fill up the other side of a C90 with songs we knew other people hadn't heard. I guess that kind of stuck and we wanted to make our own. And we all remember how exciting it was to hear about people we admired collaborating with each other. We wanted in on that.
In the summer of 2005 we started emailing people asking if they wanted to come and be involved. All the tracks would have to be written and recorded within the space of one day at our Like a Cat, Like a Fox studio somewhere under a bridge, somewhere in Newcastle. All spur of the moment, no time to be precious but with a spirit of taking chances and doing things that none of us could get away with in our respective day jobs. People were up for it. So we did it. In the summer of 2006 it was finished.
We'll be starting Print is Dead Vol. 2. soon..." – Yourcodenameis:Milo (September 2006)
The band uploaded a new track every Tuesday to their Myspace page prior to the release. "Wait a Minute" (featuring Gordon Moakes of Bloc Party) was the first single released from the album.The album's name is taken from an Egon Spengler quote from the film Ghostbusters.
