Love Battery

Between the Eyes b/w Easter

Sub Pop SP45 7", released 1989 (U.S.)

Love Battery's first record, a two song 7" on Sub Pop. The two songs on this single were both released on the Between the Eyes EP. The first 500 copies were on red vinyl, and the other 2,500 were on black. One interesting note on this one: there is a rejected test pressing of this record with a different mix of the A-side on it. The trail-off etchings for this test pressing read as follows: Side A - "Dial M for Muzak SP-45-A Kdisc ch L-33610" / Side B - "SP-45-B Kdisc ch L-33610-X". The matrix code of the final release is: Side A - "Dial M for Muzak SP-45-A Re-1 Kdisc ch L-33610" / Side B - "SP-45-B Kdisc ch L-33610-X". The "Re-1" in the final version is the indicator of the second test pressing. The rejected and final test pressings look the same and are really only distinguishable by those etchings.
