Well, it doesn't get much more iconic than this (until we get to Bleach...). Mudhoney's first album. The first pressing was of 1,000 on black vinyl and came with a poster. After this first press, some other colors surfaced, including blue marble, purple marble, red, and grey marble. The grey one is the rarest of these, but the red is close behind. The blue and purple ones range in color from light to dark. At this time, there were also pressings in Germany and Australia - the German one was on Glitterhouse (black vinyl) and the Australian one was on Au Go Go (on both black and orange vinyl).
Then, there were later black pressings; there is one version in which the sleeve contained a bar code, and a later one in which the sleeve had a bar code plus the Sub Pop URL on the back.
In 2009, Sub Pop repressed this album for the 20th anniversary of its original release. This version was on a dark grey marble vinyl. It came with a poster, similar to that of the original release, and a download coupon. The labels were a darker yellow than on the earlier pressings. The grey re-press seemed to devalue the original grey version a bit.
Newbury Comics struck again here, releasing a version of Superfuzz Bigmuff on clear vinyl with black swirls in 2017. There were 300 of those.
