Rocket from the Crypt
Don't Drop the Baby
Swami SWA 151 7", released 2016 (U.S.)
When Rocket did a 2016 tour, they did not create a collectors' headache to the extent that they did with the 2013 tour. They still didn't make it easy, though. This single was sold at all of their tour dates from May-October 2016 (this amounted to 8 shows, I believe). Don't Drop the Baby was exciting...a new, original Rocket song in 2016. The 7" was stamped on one side (along with the sleeve) and screen-printed on the other side...well, mostly. The record made its first appearance at the Denver show on May 26, 2016. The screen-printing had not been done yet. So there were 60 copies that were sold minus the screen-printing. As you might imagine, those are really tough to get. The remaining 440 copies in the 500-copy pressing were screen-printed. The price for the screen-printed 7" bounced up and down for a while, but has settled into the $50-$70 range. The price for the non-screen-printed version is conjecture.
