A Record Collector's Guide

It is time. I am going to refocus my collection slightly, and spend some time on getting some higher-end items from my want list. To that end, I have decided to unload my complete Sub Pop Singles Club V1 set - all colors of all singles (except Love Buzz). There are certainly some records in the set that I want to keep in my collection. I have already replaced those items. This is a unique opportunity for a lucky collector somewhere. Tell your friends!

Well, I have decided to unload a bunch of Sub Pop test pressings. I had been amassing them for a giant trade a while back, but the other party disappeared, and I have not heard from him in over a year. I think it's time. I can't keep that much cash tied up in records I don't plan to have in my collection forever, so...there you go. A big batch is up over at our favorite auction site, so take a look at my current listings should you have some interest. It's not all test pressings, either. There are some nice rarities for sale as well.

Thanks to Marcus Andrews over at The Endless Quest, I have added another version of the Seaweed Just a Smirk single (yellow vinyl), as well as a better picture of the green Spanaway LP.

This weekend brings us another new page: Sicko. I know it is a bit of a departure from many of the pages I have done, but not everything has to fit...right?

I realize it has been a little while since my last update. I think the site overhaul must have taken more out of me than I'd previously thought. Well, I am back with some new pages. Seaweed has joined the fray. Separate albums, singles, and index pages are now live!

Now that the site is redone, it's time for some new content. I have added a page detailing Sarge, the Reputation, and Elizabeth Elmore. Plus, I have updated some more images:

• New images for SP95 Mudhoney - Let It Slide, including the grey vinyl 7" and the insert
• The black vinyl version of SP79 L7 - Smell the Magic
• A mixed yellow and black vinyl version of SP91 Rein Sanction - Creel
• Blue and Blue-green marble images for the SP82 Thee Headcoats LP
• A test pressing for the Afghan Whigs' Turn on the Water 7", thanks to Enrico
• The Rocket from the Crypt 200g DMM re-release for the RFTC LP
• The test pressing of the Name of the Band is Rocket from the Crypt album
• A new variation of the Rocket from the Crypt Boychucker picture disc.
• A mixed grey/white vinyl version of the Rocket from the Crypt/Get Up Kids split 7"
• The UK version of the Beat Happening/Screaming Trees EP on 53rd and 3rd Records.
• The Twilight Singers 200g DMM re-release of Powder Burns
• The Pre-moon Syndrome Post Summer (of Noise) compilation LP featuring Velocity Girl
• The limited silk-screened Velocity Girl pillow case from the My Forgotten Favorite 7"
• My own copy of Velocity Girl's Gilded Stars and Zealous Hearts on glitter vinyl

Welcome to the new Pette Discographies site, updated for the 21st century! I have rebuilt the whole site, essentially from the ground up. I have held off on a great deal of updates due to the grand overhaul, so there should be a lot of new entries coming soon. I still have some image touch-up work to do on some of the images, but that work is almost entirely done. If you see something that is not working correctly, please let me know. Stay tuned to this page for all sorts of new updates in the coming weeks.

A few more additions today. I decided to stop ignoring the Glitterhouse/Sub Pop Europe versions of Sub Pop albums and singles. I have not yet included any images that were not already in place, but I added catalogue numbers for just about every crossover Sub Pop item I have on here. Also added:

• Better sleeve shots for the Fluid's Purplemetalflakemusic LP
• The Lost Weekend compilation, featuring two Afghan Whigs songs
• A Slice of Lemon compilation, featuring a Go Sailor song, among many others
• Julep LP on black vinyl
• The European version of the Velocity Girl ¡Simpatico! LP
• The European version of the Jale Dreamcake LP
• The missing image of Nirvana's Bleach LP sleeve

I know it has been a while since my last update. I was focusing more on the site's overall design and less on the content. Of course, I haven't really gotten anywhere on the design, and have just ignored the content, so I decided it was time for some updates. Here are the newest additions and updates:

• Inserts for the Afghan Whigs' Up in It LP: the lyric sheet from the first pressing, and the Singles Club order form from the very rare 1st run vinyl that came in the 2nd pressing sleeve
• Two of the prominent compilations that feature exclusive Afghan Whigs tracks: the Where the Hell are the Good Scissors? LP and the King and I 10"
• The original (or so it would appear) pressing of Jale's first 7", Aunt Betty, on magenta vinyl with a black & white sleeve
• Another variation of the Rocket from the Crypt Boychucker 7"
• Clarification of the many forms of the Soundgarden Screaming Life LP
• Test pressings for Screaming Trees' Buzz Factory and the Beat Happening Screaming Trees LPs
• Some color variations for the Mudhoney S/T LP
• Another interesting Mudhoney Touch Me I'm Sick first pressing color - this one is a yellow-green pea soup color.
• A test pressing variation for the SP46 Lonely Moans single
• Clear yellow variation for SP76 Unsane
• Test pressing for SP139 The Monkeywrench
• Test pressing for SP141 Seaweed - Bill
• Better scan of the marbled blue version of SP160 Rein Sanction
• Scarce blue vinyl version of the European Velocity Girl Crazy Town 7"
• Better scan of SP187 The Legend 7"
• Pink vinyl version of Tuscadero's Mt. Pleasant 7"
• Singles Club V2 variations: SP484 Mudhoney, SP492 The Dead C (clear vinyl)
• Singles Club V2 insert scans: SP444 Peechees, SP451 Get Up Kids, SP452 The Kent 3, SP474 Catheters
• Singles Club V2 - better scans: SP598 Iron and Wine, SP602 Ugly Casanova, SP444 Peechees, SP451 Get Up Kids (black), SP452 Kent 3, SP474 Catheters
• Tiger Trap - S/T LP image
• And, finally, I have posted a trade list.

Today's additions:

• Orange and Red-Clear first pressings of SP18 Mudhoney Touch Me I'm Sick.
• Green marble version of SP472 - Crooked Fingers

Added a scan of the clear vinyl Ornament 7". Whew. That was a tough one to track down. Thanks to Mike F. for fueling the habit.

Today, I added a second Sub Pop LP page (SP51 - SP100). I also cleaned up my Afghan Whigs pages a little. I added a different picture of the blue-green marble version of Up In It (this one is a more accurate depiction of the color), along with a blue marble version of Up In It, which I just discovered existed. I re-worked the Somethin' Hot 7" entry, and I received proof that the clear vinyl Ornament 7" existed. Finally, I added an interesting pink marble variation of the Sister Brother 7", which looks to be a cross between pink marble and purple marble.

I tried to clarify the solid black vs. translucent black situation with the early Sub Pop singles.

Today's additions:

• Purple marble version of the Screaming Trees Album SP44a Mudhoney 7"
