The Reverend's first Sub Pop album is a true classic. Annoyingly, this album has the same catalogue number as the Singles Club single that came out around the same time. The initial 10" pressing was on black & white swirled vinyl (Sub Pop called it "checkered"...checkered is not a concept that works very well when pressing vinyl). It also appeared on blue-grey vinyl (more of a blue than a blue-grey, to be honest) and white vinyl. Those are both somewhat scarce, but the white is really rare. There was also a black vinyl LP version (and another in Germany). All of the above are somewhat pricy, but the German LP isn't too bad. Apparently, someone bootlegged the U.S. LP...I just learned of this recently. It has different labels (they are green). I'm still trying to confirm that this one was unofficial. I'm not completely convinced.
