Man's Ruin Records

[17] The posters and album art spanning Kozik's career, including from the Man's Ruin era, are still very coveted.

[18] The limited print vinyl have been rising in value due to two factors: the majority of covers were screen-printed and numbered by Kozik,[19] and most records were released in editions of 5,000 copies or less.

[20][4][21] Among the most sought-after records from the Man's Ruin catalog are the Desert Sessions compilations,[22] a brainchild of Kozik,[23] which were released in highly limited editions on clear and colored vinyl.

[24] The CD versions of the first six volumes, as well as the rest of the entire Man's Ruin catalog, have gone out of print with the demise of the label.

Man's Ruin also lost its lease at the height of the Bay Area dot-com boom and was shut down for a period of several months while attempting to relocate its offices.

Internet users who wished to view the Man's Ruin website were simply greeted with the message: "sorry mansruin never paid their bill and their site is no longer here".
