Bleach
n o t e s
  The Bleach LP was released in Australia by the Waterfront label.  Much like Sub Pop did in 1989 in the United States, Waterfront put out several different colors of vinyl.  But Waterfront went one step further; they released most of the vinyl colors in different colored sleeves.  All of these variations were released in 1989.  (Waterfront released another LP in 1992.)  Here are the variations:

  • · Black vinyl in a black/silver sleeve.
    · Blue vinyl in a black/silver sleeve.
    · Blue vinyl in a black/blue sleeve.
    · Blue vinyl in a blue/silver sleeve.
    · Purple vinyl in a purple/silver sleeve.
    · Red vinyl in a black/silver sleeve.
    · Red vinyl in a red/silver sleeve.
    · Red vinyl in an orange/silver sleeve.
    · Yellow vinyl in a black/silver sleeve.
    · Yellow vinyl in a black/yellow sleeve.

Some of the above items are rarer than others, but for the most part there are about 500 copies of each.  However, Waterfront did press more copies of some, such as the blue vinyl, as demand warranted.

Each LP comes in a plastic inner sleeve and Cobain is credited as "Kobain" on the LP labels.

A black vinyl test pressing also exists.
