Bacteria Sour SOUR 2/SOUR 3 2x7", released 1994 (U.S.)
This is pretty much the only Pushead-related Rocket release that is not worth anything (OK, fine, this and the Taste CD). All on black vinyl. There must have been many of these pressed, as it is a pretty easy and inexpensive find.
HOWEVER...there is also a record out there that was a rejected test pressing of the Rocket 7" from this set. It has a different b-side, containing the original version of "Glazed" from the Rocket Pack 7", as well as "Pressure's On". There were EIGHT of them that were sent out by Pushead in an inside-out sleeve, signed and hand-numbered, along with all sorts of other goodies, including a sculpture. Not an easy find.
Another version of the rejected test press surfaced for sale in 2012, but this one was without the various other Pushead paraphernalia. It had plain white, unstamped labels. This suggests that there may be a few more in existence than the aforementioned eight. The matrix codes for the actual release are "MPO PUS 007-05 A1" (side A) and "MPO PUS 007-05 B2" (side B). On the rejected test pressing, side A is the same, while side B has a matrix code of "MPO PUS 007-05 B1."
