SP49 Tad

Salt Lick

Sub Pop SP49 LP, released February 1990 (U.S.)

Glitterhouse GR0076 LP / GRCD 76, released 1990 (Germany)

Sub Pop SP1178 LP/CD, released 2016 (U.S./Europe)

Tad's back, on black vinyl. This record came with a large letter-size Singles Club insert. It was concurrently released on Glitterhouse in Germany, also on black vinyl. In 2016, Sub Pop re-pressed Salt Lick in the U.S. and Europe. The U.S. color vinyl version was on opaque yellow vinyl with red splatter. The European one was a clear yellow with red splatter. It was additionally on black vinyl, and Sub Pop also released a promo version, which was the black vinyl copy in a plain white sleeve, with a promotional label. These should be more valuable than they are. I suspect they will start to creep upward in value over time.
