K Records KLP 003 LP, released 2017 (U.S.)

I think this one was a co-release with K Records...the original pressings all say Sub Pop, but it was given an early K catalog number (KLP 003) for its K re-release years later. The Sub Pop release had three vinyl variants: dark grey marble, light blue marble, and black vinyl. It was also released in Germany (on black vinyl). The light blue one is by far the rarest of the bunch. I didn't know it existed until fairly recently.

In 2000, K Records re-released Dreamy on black vinyl. This one is readily available. In 2017, K found some more copies of the vinyl in their warehouse, and released those in plain white sleeves with color copies of the front and back artwork. There were only 32 of these.
