SP12a Soundgarden
Hunted Down b/w Nothing to Say
Sub Pop SP12a, released June 1987
The first Sub Pop 7". 500 copies on blue vinyl with a blue paper sleeve. This one was later bootlegged. Beware fakes. They are regularly sold as the real thing. I got burned. The fakes are still rare, but the collecting community is increasingly aware of them. They are not very valuable.
