This was a fun compilation. As you might have guessed by the title, it was a bunch of Seattle bands covering The Damned. Most (all?) tracks were exclusive to this compilation. CD versions were released in the U.S., Europe, and Japan. The vinyl was released in the U.S. and Europe, and came as an LP with a 7". The 7" was on black vinyl. There were a whole bunch of variants of the LP: it came in blue, green, red, yellow, yellow marble, and orange marble. Some colors are more common than others. I have not bothered to track all of them down. People tend to overprice them when listing them for sale, so they don't sell very often. All of them are worth about the same amount. Also, a disproportionate quantity seem to be in Europe.
