100 YELLOW VINYL w/rec release inserts - 73 SOLID YELLOW, 20 LIGHT YELLOW, 6 YELLOW/WHITE swirl, 1 YELLOW/BLACK swirl
There were a total of 100 pressed on yellow vinyl, 73 of which came out looking
like your standard solid banana yellow vinyl (many have a little bit of white in them).
There were a few abnormalities, which can be seen below.
Yellow vinyl copies were available at Killing The Dream's record release show
on April 4th, 2004. Unfortunately, Eli (their singer) got really sick and they
were unable to play. There is a special insert in each of the record release
7"s thanking everyone for coming and explaining why they couldn't play.

There were a total of 100 pressed on yellow vinyl, 6 of which came out
looking more like translucent yellow with white milky streaks in it. The scan
doesn't show it very accurately, but the yellow on these copies is partially
transparent, with really solid white swirls in it. These copies came out looking
really awesome.

This is one of a kind. One copy came out looking like this when they
switched the colors in the machine from yellow to "grey".

300 GREY VINYL - 294 "CHARCOAL GREY" (really just black w/few white streaks), 6 on GREY MARBLE
We ordered 300 on grey marble vinyl (I'm sure most of you know the "grey" we were
going for), but what we got was basically just BLACK vinyl, with a little
white here and there. 294 of the 300 either look plain black or black with
a little white in it (creating a look closer to a "charcoal grey").

We ordered 300 on grey marble vinyl, and only 6 of the 300 actually came out
looking even close to the grey marble we were hoping for. These 6, combined with
the 294 mentioned above round out the 300 on "grey".

600 CLEAR VINYL
600 were pressed on clear vinyl, some on this true clear vinyl, and some on
a more green-tinted clear vinyl. Who knows how many of the 600 were pressed of each,
but it seemed to be about half and half.

600 were pressed on clear vinyl. They started off pressing with regular clear vinyl (above),
but they ran out, so they started pressing on "coke bottle clear"
(an actual "color" you can choose at pressing plants, it is clear with a sort of green tint to it)
to finish off the run.
