The Rude Gesture: A Pictorial History was Shellac's first release ("Shellac Record #1"), a 3 song 7" on Touch and Go Records. It was released in 1993 on vinyl format only. The brown smear on the cover was originally rumored to be real shellac, but is actually root beer concentrate.
The 7" comes in a hand-printed and folded sleeve with a sheet of liner notes which list the microphones used for recording, like "Lomo: 19a-19, 19a-13, 19a-9 (original Soviet tubes, for the prole sound)".
