I thought I would just add this to the list here... if anyone is wondering about this record I highly recommend getting a copy.. I've seen it on Ebay quite frequently in the last year or so. I have the 12" version on green wax.. I see more of the 7" version on Ebay It is a great record... the Melvins blaze a sick version of Mudhoney's "sweet young thing ain't sweet no more" perfect Mudhoney song for Melvins to cover, slow and thick sounding. I really love this version.. I usually play it about 3 times in a row before flipping and it helps if you are able turn it up really loud. The other side is Steel pole Bathtub doing a Sonic Youth cover.. I Dreamed, I Dream this sounds really good too.. the bass sounds like some giant cables grinding.. it's rad. I love this record. I have been collecting Melvins records since about 89-90 and I never saw this anywhere for sale back when it came out. I knew about it for years but never really tried to get it until last year when I stumbled upon a almost mint copy of the 12" version at this little record store, the dude didn't really know about it and I think I paid like 12 bucks or something. I am really happy to finally get it and I wonder how I slept on it all these years.
I am looking for this little slice of heaven. Anyone willing to sell or trade their copy?
Did they ever play Sweet Young Thing live?

This record is great. I just scored a green 12". I thought I had purchased the 45 but it was the 12". I guess the 12"ones are the Tupelo UK 12" pressings.
I've just been chatting with someone who worked in a record shop around the time the 12" was released (1990). He says there "were TONS of these that were warped and got sent back, I mean REALLY warped. You couldn't play them."
Does anybody remember buying theirs new and having to send it back?
