Seaweed appeared on a great deal of compilations. Here are some of them. I have tried to limit the compilation entries here to the ones that contained tracks that did not appear on albums. Some definitely warranted mentioning, though.
When Seaweed went on tour with Superchunk and Geek (Jenny Toomey's pre-Tsunami band), the bands decided to put out a joint 7". The single was a joint release between Simple Machines, Leopard Gecko, and Merge, but Simple Machines got the catalogue number, so I am calling it theirs. The insert was bigger than the sleeve, so it kind of sticks out all over the place. Translucent black vinyl.

Estrus gets in on the fun - they had a few of these vinyl box sets (also released on CD). The Lunch Bucket was the first. It contained three 7"s, featuring 12 bands. The singles had catalogue numbers of ES-76, ES-77, and ES-78, and (as far as I know) were all on translucent black vinyl. I would not be surprised if a color vinyl version existed, as the later Estrus box sets all had color versions, but I have never seen one for the Lunch Bucket. The Seaweed track (on the third 7") was a Beat Happening cover. The boxes were hand-numbered out of 1,500, and came with trading cards for each of the 12 bands within. The box also has a handle stapled to the top. Apparently, there were an additional 125 copies or so that were named instead of numbered.

Another Estrus box set, another Beat Happening cover by Seaweed. They also did this one on the Simple Machines Fortune Cookie Prize comp. This one definitely had a color vinyl version (1 7" on each of yellow, maroon, and red vinyl). The vinyl box set has two different tracks from the CD version, as the Mummies and Phantom Surfers didn't belive in CD technology. Came with a coaster and a matchbook. The color vinyl box goes for a lot more than the black one.

This UK CD comp came with Metal CD Magazine Volume 2 Issue 2. It came with two Seaweed tracks (the last two tracks on Four. Not terribly hard to find. Not essential, either.

This was a collection of exactly what the title says...great John Peel recordings of Sub Pop bands. This was only ever released on CD. There is some exceptional material on here by many of the featured artists, though, so go check it out.

More comps. More Seaweed covers. This one is a great Fastbacks song. Translucent black vinyl. This 7" (sleeve and all) was part of the Jabberjaw No. 5 box set, which is a bit more expensive to procure.
I read that this 7" was never released separately, unlike its predecessors. I don't totally buy that. I got mine as a standalone, have seen several additional copies in stores. Plus, the box set has always been more expensive than the individual 7"s, so I can't see that many people breaking apart the sets to sell the 7"s by themselves. The box set was limited to 500 copies, and was somewhat expensive for a while, but the price has leveled off, if you can find it.

This is a great compilation. Major shining moments for many of the bands within. Face to Face's cover of the Descendents' "Bikeage" is excellent. The songs by Tilt and Alcohol Funnycar on here are great as well. The existence of the set in CD form drove down the value of the vinyl slightly, but it is still a great collector's piece. Still fairly easy to find.
