This one basically qualifies as legendary at this point. Green River's first on Sub Pop. These are all on black vinyl, but the inserts varied a bit. The first pressing of 2,000 came with yellow inserts. The next batch came with pink inserts. I once heard that there were only 500 with pink inserts, but I don't really believe that, as the pink ones do seem to be more common than the yellow ones. Regardless, the yellow ones sell for more. There were also additional copies on the market with no inserts. The prices for the yellow insert ones have been quite volatile in recent years.
In 2019, Sub Pop repressed this one as a deluxe edition double LP, including a whole bunch of rarities as bonus tracks. The Loser Edition of the deluxe edition is on green vinyl, the color of which varies quite a bit: it can be opaque or translucent, and the opaque one varies from a light lime green to a dark green.

| Rumors | Red insert: I was recently told by One Who Knows Things that the printer ran out of yellow paper when printing the inserts for this record, and some of the initial pressings came with red inserts as a result. I have not seen one of these, so I cannot confirm this. |
