NOTES

An old Sub Pop discography page once stated that the single was "Limited to 5,000 copies, with 3,500 on gray vinyl." This would mean the remaining 1,500 were on black vinyl. Later, it was speculated that there were 3,500 gray copies and 4,000 black ones, but the original Sub Pop information is likely accurate, as black copies are much harder to find.

So the first pressing of this single included 3,500 copies on dark gray marble vinyl, packaged in foldover paper sleeves with Singles Club forms attached, alongside the 1,500 black vinyl copies.

Subsequent pressings brought a wide variety of colors, likely produced in multiple batches. To avoid wasting materials, leftover labels and sleeves from the initial pressing were used until they ran out. As such, the blue-gray and green marble variants were probably the first new colors, followed by the pink marble ones, which introduced new cardboard sleeves but still used first-pressing labels.

Later colors (like blue marble, turquoise, peach/brown, purple, hot pink marble, and clear pink) featured both the new cardboard sleeves and Erika labels. The clear pink ones likely came last, as they have an all-caps label style that Erika used for later records.
