Album sunglasses

The True Ingredients released the world's first ever album in the form of sunglasses. Rather than release their debut album in the traditional CD format, they created their own sunglasses with their logo and website address printed on them in addition to a unique download code which allows the owner to digitally download the album's MP3s. These Prepare & Assemble album sunglasses have been worn by Sean Paul, Mischa Barton, Coolio, and Kaya Scodelario. At Lovebox Festival 2011, Snoop Dogg headlined the Saturday of the festival wearing yellow True Ingredients shades.
