The Afghan Whigs

 

Somethin' Hot b/w Miss World

Columbia COL666331 7 7", released 1998

This one is very odd to me.  The copy shown is the first that I had seen in a long time.  I could swear I remember seeing it more than once when it was released, but I ignored it at the time because it was a major label release.  I assumed it would be easy to find in the future.  Oops.  It is VERY tough to find.  The sleeve is actually numbered on the back.  My copy is # 181...I have no idea how many there were total, but it can't be many.  There were 1965 copies (ha-ha) of the cd made...  Scour Europe (especially France).  That's my only advice.   I have now seen five copies of this record surface in recent years, some with higher numbers and some with lower numbers.  The higher-numbered copies have been on lighter (both weight and color) orange semi-transparent and somewhat marbled vinyl.  The two lower numbered copies are on darker, more solid orange vinyl.  The sleeves are different as well; the solid orange ones come in sleeves with darker, better defined colors.  The variations are distinct, but do still probably come from the same pressing.  There may actually have been 1965 copies of this record pressed, but that is hard to believe, since it has been so hard to find.
