SP19 Tad

Daisy b/w Ritual Device

Sub Pop SP19 7", released August 1988 (U.S.)

Dear world: meet Tad. This one was released with no picture sleeve - instead, it came in a PVC sleeve. 964 copies were on clear vinyl. The clear ones seem to go through big value waves. It spiked again a few years ago and has now settled back into the $40-60 range.

There are 200 black copies out there as well. Those sell consistently for above $100, but have never really taken off. Then, there are the gold ones...Sub Pop said there were 70 of these. I have only seen this one a couple of times.

If you are buying this record, pay extra attention to the condition. The PVC sleeve can cause the vinyl to deteriorate over time, resulting in a hazy appearance and distorted sound. This now came out over 30 years ago (!)...that's a long time to sit if the record has been in the PVC the whole time.
