NIRVANA – “Bleach” Label: Sub Pop – SP 34 (Erika Records pressing) Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Stereo, Color Vinyl Country: USA Released: 1992 Genre: Rock Style: Grunge, Alternative Rock DESCRIPTION Factory-sealed U.S. 1992 Sub Pop / Erika Records colored vinyl pressing of Bleach. This edition belongs to the well-known early-90s repress series manufactured by Erika Records under license from Sub Pop. Identified by the “COLOR VINYL” neon-green sticker on the shrink and by the rear credit “Made in the USA by ERIKA Records (310) 926-8992” — a combination used exclusively for the 1992 color-vinyl run. Features the classic Lisa Orth cover design, the original 1989 track layout, and the iconic early negative-photograph artwork. Pressed on high-quality colored vinyl (exact color unknown due to sealed condition). A clean, glossy, fully sealed example with intact factory shrink — a desirable collectible from the early 1990s Sub Pop catalog. CONDITION VINYL: Presumed MINT (unplayed) COVER: Factory-sealed, never opened NOTES FOR COLLECTORS U.S. Erika Records pressing – the only edition carrying the rear-text “Made in the USA by ERIKA Records (310) 926-8992.” Part of the official 1992 Sub Pop color vinyl repress series (approx. 4,000 copies distributed). Includes the original tracklist and 1989 layout with the early font block and vertical alignment. Neon-green “COLOR VINYL” circle sticker used exclusively on 1992 Erika runs (never used on 1989 white/black first pressings). Thicker early-1990s Erika shrink-wrap with heavy texture (“orange peel”). Factory-sealed examples from this run have become increasingly scarce, especially in clean condition. Colored Vinyl Edition: Part of the limited Erika Records color-vinyl run. The vinyl’s color is random (unknown until the seal is broken). A small hype sticker on the shrink indicates the colored vinyl inside. Possible Vinyl Colors: Known variants from this 1989 Erika pressing include marbled pink, pink marble swirl, purple marble, blue marble, green marble, yellow-green marble, and even some translucent red copies. (Blue marble is noted as the rarest variant, while pink is most common – but you won’t know your copy’s color until you open it!)
