  There are most likely just 1000 total copies, but I've read something that makes it seem like there could be 1000 copies of each color.  Available colors include: black, light blue, dark blue, light green, dark green, grey, pink, light purple, dark purple, red, and yellow.  Additional colors may have also been pressed, including orange which may have been given to the band members.

An owners' list has been created to help identify how many of each color were pressed.

  Both bands cover Velvet Underground songs.

Except for the black version, all vinyl appears to have a white swirl or marbled appearance.  (A counterfeit copy of the black vinyl has also been made.)
