As Derek of LPAssociation said when they posted their version, ''"What makes these tracks special is the fact that many famous samples from Linkin Park's history ("I'd like to introduce", "and you do it like this", as well as the speech from Step Up, and the original female intro to "It's Going Down") are here in their unaltered form without any background tracks or musical interference at all. Also featured are certain instrumental breaks and clips from Hybrid Theory, making these tracks invaluable for anybody planning to remix Linkin Park's music."''

So when was it made? You can see that Joe has this vinyl at the Rock am Ring 2001 show in Germany as well as in the 'What I've Done' music video, so that's quite a while that he's had this vinyl with him. The date of the vinyl is unknown but we assume that it was made before July 2000. The ''"You cannot fuck with this band"'' sample was used at live Linkin Park shows in July 2000 on their first national tour. In the ''Hybrid Odyssey'' documentary from fall 2001, Joe actually shows the vinyl to the camera.<ref>[https://youtu.be/HD8oOzUF7UI YouTube: LPLive Archive - Linkin Park - A Hybrid Odyssey (2002; Ocular Music)], January 31, 2020</ref>

Mike Shinoda told OnStage in 2001: ''"Joe and I made an original record for him to scratch with certain key samples on it, and we pressed up 100 of them so that he can now scratch in certain samples from the record instead of just pressing them on a pad. There are some underlying looped materials, too, but all of the parts that grab your attention are played by hand. We recently upgraded to three samplers onstage, plus backups."''<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090309180129/http://onstagemag.com/ar/performance_linkin_parks_magic/index.htm Linkin Park's Magic Mix], January 01, 2002</ref>


While LPLive was securing the release of this vinyl in FLAC from Mohnaryl, it was leaked to LPAssociation, who posted it in 192kbps mp3 quality as an exclusive. Shortly after the FLAC was obtained, LPLive posted it for download on January 19, 2012. The upgrade has a correct track split of 21 tracks (versus the previous 18) and a huge quality upgrade (mono to stereo and mp3 to FLAC).<ref>[https://lplive.net/wiki/exclusives/exclusive-tasty-gas-station-breaks/ LPLive: Exclusive: Tasty Gas Station Breaks], April 30, 2014</ref>

There are definitely some noteworthy finds on the vinyl. A sample of 'Carousel' is found on the fourth track. The song was rehearsed in September 2001 at European soundchecks to be played, but didn't end up making it into the setlists. IT was allegedly played live at some point before that, likely in 1999. There are quite a few samples on here that were later used on ''[[Reanimation]]''. It also includes samples used on later songs, such as "[[What I've Done]]" on ''[[Minutes To Midnight]]'', "You Cannot Fuck With This" by Styles Of Beyond, and "[X-Ecutioner Style]]" on ''Reanimation''. Even the movies Game Of Death and American History X are sampled.

There are two samples found on "[[Rnw@y]]"... the fact that they're not on the same "track" (in terms of proximity on the vinyl) means they were used separately until Backyard Bangers put them on the remix. It also contains samples of "[[It's Goin' Down]]" by the X-Ecutioners (featuring Mike and Joe). "It's Goin' Down" samples the song "Year 2000" by Xzibit, which was released on March 28, 2000 on the Black & White soundtrack. "It's Goin' Down" was not released until January 2002, but the song was likely made sometime in 2001. The samples on "It's Goin' Down" were likely sourced from this vinyl.

The vinyl called "Mista Hahn's Tasty Gas Station Breaks From The Orient" is a vinyl that Joe Hahn used on stage for years featuring live samples of Linkin Park material, other bands' material, and random samples he could use at live shows. From the Violent Femmes to Styles Of Beyond, lots of material is covered on this vinyl.

As Derek of LPAssociation said when they posted their version, "What makes these tracks special is the fact that many famous samples from Linkin Park's history ("I'd like to introduce", "and you do it like this", as well as the speech from Step Up, and the original female intro to "It's Goin' Down") are here in their unaltered form without any background tracks or musical interference at all. Also featured are certain instrumental breaks and clips from Hybrid Theory, making these tracks invaluable for anybody planning to remix Linkin Park's music."[1]

So when was it made? You can see that Joe has this vinyl at the Rock am Ring 2001 show in Germany as well as in the "What I've Done" music video, so that's quite a while that he's had this vinyl with him. The date of the vinyl is unknown but we assume that it was made before July 2000. The "You cannot fuck with this band" sample was used at live Linkin Park shows in July 2000 on their first national tour. In the Hybrid Odyssey documentary from fall 2001, Joe actually shows the vinyl to the camera.[2]

Mike Shinoda told OnStage in 2001: "Joe and I made an original record for him to scratch with certain key samples on it, and we pressed up 100 of them so that he can now scratch in certain samples from the record instead of just pressing them on a pad. There are some underlying looped materials, too, but all of the parts that grab your attention are played by hand. We recently upgraded to three samplers onstage, plus backups."[3]

While LPLive was securing the release of this vinyl in FLAC from Mohnaryl, it was leaked to LPAssociation, who posted it in 192kbps mp3 quality as an exclusive. Shortly after the FLAC was obtained, LPLive posted it for download on January 19, 2012. The upgrade has a correct track split of 21 tracks (versus the previous 18) and a huge quality upgrade (mono to stereo and mp3 to FLAC).[4]

There are definitely some noteworthy finds on the vinyl. A sample of "Carousel" is found on the fourth track. The song was rehearsed in September 2001 at European soundchecks to be played, but didn't end up making it into the setlists. It was allegedly played live at some point before that, likely in 1999. There are quite a few samples on here that were later used on Reanimation. It also includes samples used on later songs, such as "What I've Done" on Minutes To Midnight, "You Cannot Fuck With This" by Styles Of Beyond, and "X-Ecutioner Style" on Reanimation. Even the movies Game Of Death and American History X are sampled.

There are two samples found on "Rnw@y"... the fact that they're not on the same "track" (in terms of proximity on the vinyl) means they were used separately until Backyard Bangers put them on the remix. It also contains samples of "It's Goin' Down" by the X-Ecutioners (featuring Mike and Joe). "It's Goin' Down" samples the song "Year 2000" by Xzibit, which was released on March 28, 2000 on the Black & White soundtrack. "It's Goin' Down" was not released until January 2002, but the song was likely made sometime in 2001. The samples on "It's Goin' Down" were likely sourced from this vinyl.
