Well, I have decided to unload a bunch of Sub Pop test pressings. I had been amassing them for a giant trade a while back, but the other party disappeared, and I have not heard from him in over a year. I think it’s time. I can’t keep that much cash tied up in records I don’t plan to have in my collection forever, so…there you go. A big batch is up over at our favorite auction site, so take a look at my current listings should you have some interest. It’s not all test pressings, either. There are some nice rarities for sale as well.
Seaweed Updates
Thanks to Marcus Andrews over at The Endless Quest, I have added another version of the Seaweed Just a Smirk single (yellow vinyl), as well as a better picture of the green Spanaway LP.
Sicko Is Here!
This weekend brings us another new page: Sicko. I know it is a bit of a departure from many of the pages I have done, but not everything has to fit…right?

Pette Discographies Overhaul
Welcome to the new Pette Discographies site, updated for the 21st century! I have rebuilt the whole site, essentially from the ground up. I have held off on a great deal of updates due to the grand overhaul, so there should be a lot of new entries coming soon. I still have some image touch-up work to do on some of the images, but that work is almost entirely done. If you see something that is not working correctly, please let me know. Stay tuned to this page for all sorts of new updates in the coming weeks.
Glitterhouse Invades Pette Discographies
A few more additions today. I decided to stop ignoring the Glitterhouse/Sub Pop Europe versions of Sub Pop albums and singles. I have not yet included any images that were not already in place, but I added catalogue numbers for just about every crossover Sub Pop item I have on here. Also added:
- Better sleeve shots for the Fluid’s Purplemetalflakemusic LP
- The Lost Weekend compilation, featuring two Afghan Whigs songs
- A Slice of Lemon compilation, featuring a Go Sailor song, among many others
- Julep LP on black vinyl
- The European version of the Velocity Girl ¡Simpatico! LP
- The European version of the Jale Dreamcake LP
- The missing image of Nirvana’s Bleach LP sleeve
Flurry of Updates
I know it has been a while since my last update. I was focusing more on the site’s overall design and less on the content. Of course, I haven’t really gotten anywhere on the design, and have just ignored the content, so I decided it was time for some updates. Here are the newest additions and updates:
- Inserts for the Afghan Whigs’ Up in It LP: the lyric sheet from the first pressing, and the Singles Club order form from the very rare 1st run vinyl that came in the 2nd pressing sleeve
- Two of the prominent compilations that feature exclusive Afghan Whigs tracks: the Where the Hell are the Good Scissors? LP and the King and I 10″
