'''''Forever Since Breakfast''''' is the debut [[Guided by Voices]] record, released on vinyl in 1986. In contrast to the [[lo-fi]] sound they would cultivate in the coming years, this EP was recorded in a professional studio, and features a nearly slick sound that anticipates their late 90's major-label efforts.
