All Lights Fucked on the Hairy Amp Drooling is claimed to be the earliest release from Canadian experimental musical collective Godspeed You! Black Emperor.[1] According to a 1998 interview with the band, the album was published on cassette in December 1994 and limited to 33 copies.[2] At this point, the group consisted only of Efrim Menuck, Mauro Pezzente, and Mike Moya.[3] No copies of the release are known to exist and the music has been "thought to be lost forever by the band's fans".[4]

When asked about the album in a 2010 interview, Efrim Menuck stated that All Lights is a vocal rock album that bears little relation to the band's later work, and that he "keep[s] expecting it's gonna pop up [on the internet] but it never does".[5] In another interview, Menuck stated that the album was a 4-track recording.[6]

In 2013, a Reddit user, who claimed to have purchased a copy of the tape in Moncton, New Brunswick,[7] uploaded photographs of the cassette cover and "audio files of tracks purporting to be the final two songs on the A-side".[8] The user's Reddit account was deleted shortly afterwards, leading some news outlets to declare the alleged rediscovery a hoax.[8]
