The Afghan Whigs

I Am the Sticks b/w White Trash Party

Sub Pop SP32 7", released April 1989
Sub Pop Singles Club #6

Limited to 1500 copies, all on black vinyl. I Am the Sticks was one of the songs that originally got me into this band. The version of White Trash Party on this single is a different version from the one that was released on the Up in It album.

I once came across an interesting copy that contained an early loose Singles Club insert (pics below) - it's the only time I've ever seen it. This insert was from the very early days of the Singles Club and appears to have been specific to this release - it predates the standard format that Sub Pop developed for most of its inserts. The sales prices of this record were stable for many years, but have been creeping upward lately.
