The first Sub Pop 7". 500 copies on blue vinyl with a blue paper sleeve. The value bounced around a lot for a number of years, but has shot upward recently. This record was also bootlegged. Beware fakes. They are regularly sold as the real thing. I got burned. The fakes are still rare, but the collecting community is increasingly aware of them. They are not very valuable.
In 2010, Sub Pop re-pressed this single on orange vinyl with a picture sleeve. 5,475 copies were pressed was released for Record Store Day. The price has dropped way down for the orange one.
