Sub Pop LPs, Page 2. Some of the prices on this one are conjecture...some of the ones on the later part of this page are not my areas of expertise, so I am missing some images, and am guessing at a couple of the values. As always, if you have any missing images or information, please .
Live'r Than God was the debut LP from this UK band, released on Sub Pop in the U.S. and Situation Two in the UK. The first pressing (1000?) was on clear vinyl. It also exists on black.

According to Sub Pop, there are 57 (!) copies of this record on orange vinyl, and all others were on black. I have not confirmed this. I have never seen an orange one. The original pressing came with an insert and poster. As far as I can tell, the insert continued to be shipped with the later pressings as well.

This was the first Afghan Whigs album released on Sub Pop. There were two versions of the sleeve and several colors of vinyl to go along with each. The first pressing was of 1000 copies on orange vinyl. Accompanying these copies was the sleeve containing the horizontal arm and orange print. These copies came with lyric sheet inserts. There were also black vinyl copies pressed with this sleeve. Glitterhouse Records in Germany pressed this album (GR0092) with the original sleeve, also on black vinyl. The cd version was one of the earliest Sub Pop Europe releases (SP5/116).
Later pressings had the second version of the sleeve, depicting a vertical arm with more shading and white lettering. This version was pressed on black, green, blue marble and blue-green marble vinyl, and came with no inserts. The blue and green varieties are all fairly rare. There are also a very few copies out there that were on the 1st press black vinyl, but came in 2nd press sleeves. These copies, unlike the rest of the 2nd run, did come with inserts: letter-sized Singles Club enrollment forms.

The Winding Sheet was Lanegan's first solo effort. It was a bit of a departure from his work with Screaming Trees to this point. I have always liked Lanegan's solo work, but I never find myself going back to listen to it. This one has some fun guest appearances, including Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic. Can't imagine where Nirvana got the idea to cover "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?"...the original Leadbelly version notwithstanding, of the cover versions I have heard, I prefer Lanegan's. His deep voice lends itself well to that song. Anyway, this record generally sells for a lot. The first 1000 copies were on red vinyl, and that version is generally more expensive. The black one isn't cheap either, though.

Glue...the last Fluid release on either Glitterhouse or Sub Pop. The EP was later combined with Roadmouth (minus three songs) for a Sub Pop cd release. Glitterhouse copies of Glue were all on black vinyl. The first Sub Pop pressing was on purple vinyl, limited to 1000 copies. Later pressings were on mint green and black vinyl. I have been told by a reliable source that a grey version also exists, but I have never seen one. Other colors may exist.

Certainly one of the more memorable album covers of all time. I don't know what it is about this band, but they keep people coming back. This was probably their most collectable album. The first pressing was of 1000 on red vinyl. That one can sell for a fair amount, but not nearly as much as the other color vinyl versions. There is a grey vinyl pressing of 112 copies. That pressing came with a copy of the She's Dead 7" on black vinyl (minus the sleeve). One would think the grey version would be the most valuable, but not so...there is also a pink marble version out there. The last time it was auctioned, it went for over $350. I don't know how many of the pink copies were pressed, but it can't be many. Later on, Sub Pop pressed 1500 picture discs, using outtake pictures from the original cover photo shoot. These sell for a few bucks as well.

There are a few different versions of this album floating around. The color vinyl versions can sell for some healthy sums. The first 1000 copies were on blue vinyl (I am not sure whether that is the straight blue vinyl you see below or if it is the blue-green marble version...I am guessing the straight blue one). The yellow marble vinyl version is the most expensive.

The original sleeve for this record was banned. The story is that the girl shown in the picture was born again or something, and didn't want to image published. It was pulled, but it is still quite easy to find with the banned sleeve.

The Reverend's first Sub Pop album is a true classic. The initial pressing was on black & white swirled vinyl (Sub Pop called it "checkered"...checkered is not a concept that works very well when pressing vinyl). Annoyingly, this album has the same catalogue number as the Singles Club single that came out around the same time.
