110 on BLACK VINYL (Friends / Pre-order)
110 copies were pressed on BLACK vinyl. A few lucky pre-orders got one of these,
while the rest were only available to friends of the band and/or Rivalry.

170 on ORANGE VINYL (Rivalry Showcase 2008)
170 were pressed on ORANGE vinyl and were only available at Rivalry Showcase 2008
on February 29th, 2008 and March 1st, 2008. A select few of these were thrown into
pre-orders from outside the USA since we knew most of those folks couldn't make it to the
Rivalry Showcase.

9 on ORANGE CREAMSICLE VINYL (ORANGE/WHITE MIX)
We stumbled across a handful of WHITE VINYL copies that had a lot of ORANGE
mixed into them. These are a result of the transition between ORANGE and WHITE
- the plates didn't get completely cleaned before starting in
on the next color. The 9 most prominent copies got pulled aside. These copies
are stamped "001" through "009" on the white dust sleeve, as well as on the back of
the 7" cover. There's also a BLACK Rivalry stamp on the dust sleeve.
NOTE:
Yes, we're aware there are other white copies out there that have tiny orange smudges.
We didn't consider these part of the "creamsicle" copies - they're barely noteworthy smudges.
We hand-stamped and numbered the 9 copies that we "counted" as creamsicle.
