The Red and Blue EP by Stefani is here! This is the physical copy that was sold by Stefani Germanotta to Eddie Q at The Bitter End on March 9, 2006. Three years later, in March 2009, Eddie shared the music along with images of the cover and disc via rapidshare. The music of this self-released CDR was shared in mp3 format, but the disc itself contains AIFF files. Many thanks to Eddie for passing this gem on!
On March 10, 2009, Eddie posted a message that he was sharing the music and artwork of the Red and Blue EP, then unknown to fans, on the (then) forum of the official Lady Gaga website, a somewhat later screenshot of which can be seen below.
Here are some images and the poster of the show at which the EP was sold.
Besides containing AIFF files, there are about four distinguishing
characteristics that can identify the authentic release. Apart from Gaga selling the CDR at The Bitter End in 2006,
the disc has never been offered for sale publicly. The auction with various Gaga releases from Bob Leone, which also included the Red and Blue EP (image below), was canceled after Gaga's team intervened.
