"My Forgotten Favorite" might be the best song Velocity Girl ever did.
Truly excellent. Versions of this record varied greatly, though.
Four different sleeves, three colors of vinyl...all mixed and matched.
There were three sleeves with the same grey base color, with varying
accent colors - blue, green, and brown. The other one had a red base
color with a fuchsia accent. All vary in scarcity a bit. The blue is definitely the most common,
followed by the green one, the brown one, and then the fuchsia one.
The three colors of vinyl were black, red marble, and purple marble.
Black is most common, then purple, and the red one is the rarest. I have no
pressing numbers, but that's been my experience. I have only ever
seen the red vinyl one with the fuchsia sleeve, and I've only seen the purple vinyl
version with the blue sleeve, but I've seen the black vinyl
with all four sleeve variants. The red vinyl version
remains the most expensive.
There were a few copies of this that were released with
Velocity Girl promotional pillow cases. Supposedly, they did 50 of these,
slik-screened by hand.
One little wrinkle to add to the equation: there was also a Sub Pop
promo CD that contained the two tracks from the Slumberland 7", along
with the only CD versions of "Warm/Crawl" from the
Singles Club split with Tsunami,
and "Tales of Brave Aphrodite" from the
Fortune Cookie Prize comp.
The CD is fairly scarce.
