A Record Collector's Guide to
The Fluid
Singles
|
There were not all that many singles released by the
Fluid. The bulk of their vinyl story comes from their LPs. There
were five 7"s and a handful of promo cds from the Hollywood era. |

Tin Top Toy b/w Tomorrow
Sub Pop SP57, released 1989
The labels on this record are
marked as SP56, but the sleeve is correctly printed as SP57. The first pressing of this one was
on orange vinyl. This is also the easiest color to find. There
were quite a few made on orange. The yellow pressing reportedly came
next, and is a rare color, limited to 500. Also pressed on grey
marble, purple marble, pink and black. I also just came across a
color that I am calling "burnt orange." It is a darker
orange than the straight orange color, and has some marbling in it with an
even darker color (I can't tell whether this is black or something
else). I had heard rumors of an "orange-brown" version,
and can only guess that this is what the person was talking about.
Regardless, it is clearly different from the regular orange version.
Take a look at the pictures. They were done on the same
scanner. I have heard various rumors of a red version, but those
always turn out to be orange.

Donut Crew DCR007/DCR008, released 1990
Local Colorado compilation that seems to have made its way
everywhere. I have seen this record in every corner of the
globe. It's truly remarkable. It says it is a pressing of
1000, but I feel as though it must be more. I did not see the ones
with the red sleeves for a while, so maybe they repressed it. It
contains a version of the Fluid song "Don't Wanna Play" that is
different from the one that appears on Freak Magnet.

Spot the Loon EP - My Kind/Cell/Kick Out the Jams/Hey 13
Fellaheen Records - Jack 001-2, released 1993
Strange Australian EP. This was the only place you could get the
last two tracks on here, including my favorite non-MC5 version of Kick Out
the Jams. Hey 13 is really good too.
