7" / Tri-Fold Sleeve Communion Label Comm 23 edit. 1000
1991.06.??
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. There are counterfeits
of this available as well that are black vinyl, i think they came out of Australia.
A: Nirvana - Here
She Comes Now
B: Melvins - Venus In Furs
Both sides are covers of Velvet Underground songs, Venus in Furs from Velvet Underground & Nico and Here She Comes Now is from White Light/White Heat
