''Broken Record'', released in September 2010 preceded by the single "Writer's Retreat", marked a departure from his solo recordings, as it was performed by a band of longstanding friends and working partners, including Fred Maher, [[Joan As Police Woman]], Rainy Orteca, [[Dave Derby]] and [[Blair Cowan (musician)|Blair Cowan]] – as well as two musicians, Matt Cullen (guitar; banjo) and Mark Schwaber (guitar; mandolin), with whom Cole tours, billed as 'Lloyd Cole Small Ensemble'. The recording of the album was entirely financed by advance purchases by his fans and contributions from Tapete Records, which later distributed the album and also oversaw and negotiated the rights to release a boxed set with his complete collection of [[A-side and B-side|B-sides]], alternative takes and previously unreleased material, under the title ''Cleaning Out the Ashtrays''.{{Citation needed|date=April 2022}}
