SP60 The Afghan Whigs
Up in It
Sub Pop SP60, released 1990
Glitterhouse GR0092 (Germany)
Sub Pop SP5/116 (CD - Germany)
This was the first Afghan Whigs album released on Sub Pop. There were two versions of the sleeve and several colors of vinyl to go along with each. The first pressing was of 1000 copies on orange vinyl. Accompanying these copies was the sleeve containing the horizontal arm and orange print. These copies came with lyric sheet inserts. There were also black vinyl copies pressed with this sleeve. Glitterhouse Records in Germany pressed this album (GR0092) with the original sleeve, also on black vinyl. The cd version was one of the earliest Sub Pop Europe releases (SP5/116).
Later pressings had the second version of the sleeve, depicting a vertical arm with more shading and white lettering. This version was pressed on black, green, blue marble and blue-green marble vinyl, and came with no inserts. The blue and green varieties are all fairly rare. There are also a very few copies out there that were on the 1st press black vinyl, but came in 2nd press sleeves. These copies, unlike the rest of the 2nd run, did come with inserts: letter-sized Singles Club enrollment forms.
