Here’s my embarrassing Sunny Day Real Estate story: When the Rising Tide came out, I ended up snagging it on green vinyl. I was pretty stoked. I walked into the Newbury Comics in Shrewsbury, and saw it sitting there on the shelf. I knicked a corner and saw green vinyl. You know I was stoked. SDRE on colored vinyl? Shut it down, solid gold material. I already had it on cd so didn’t even play it. Just got home and stared at it. I then did my fucking best to track down pressing info. Oddly, I couldn’t find anything on Sub Pop’s site. I looked everywhere. It’s like the album didn’t even exist to them. I couldn’t figure out. BUT I did notice that Sub Pop had a phone number for customer service. Probably just a line to some intern who sits in the back of a warehouse. I called up with my question ready. After a few pleasantries, we got down to business.<\/p>\n

me – “So I was curious. How many SDRE Rising Tide LPs did you guys press on green vinyl?”<\/p>\n

intern – “None”<\/p>\n

me – “None? Wait, how’s that possible? I bought one TODAY!”<\/p>\n

intern – “Sub Pop didn’t release that album …”<\/p>\n

me – [ red in the face ] “Oh, … I see … Sorry… Have a nice day.” [ click ]<\/p>\n

The album was released by Time Bomb Recordings AFTER a split with Sub Pop. Contract was up, and I guess they weren’t super happy with the live album work. Whoops. I bet Sub Pop wasn’t psyched on my phone call.<\/p>\n

And if you are a big dog, you better step up and get this original artwork from Chris Thompson<\/a>. He did some famous art for SDRE. You’ll notice this fits right in. Best part of the item description? Note that seller had them in storage during a move where they were wrapped in newspaper. Panels 2 and 3 have the heaviest markings as shown. The seller believes that this adds to the work.<\/em> LOL<\/p>\n
