Cover for the limited 'chocolate edition'. Unfortunately only the record itself is edible.
French DJ BreakBot might not have the following that The Beatles or The Rolling Stones have got but he has certainly matched, if not surpassed, them with marketing skill. Releasing his 2012 album 'By Your Side' on a limited edition chocolate record. Yes, 100% edible and 100% playable! Only 120 were ever produced and I would think that the nature of the record (being made of chocolate) would mean that you would only get limited plays out of it so there may only be a handful left but, lets be honest, you're not buying it to play!

Working Together - Chilly Gonzales
BreakBot wasn't only, and certainly not the first, artist to release a record on chocolate. In 2008 Chilly Gonzales released 100 copies of his single 'Working Together' on a 7" piece of deliciousness. However, fans soon realised that they could only get 4 or 5 plays before it turned to a crumbley mess and inevitably ruined the record player.
