Description
GARBAGE'S FIRST SINGLE, RELEASED IN 1995, HOUSED IN A UK LIMITED EDITION METAL 'G' EMBOSSED SLEEVE. STILL SEALED/UNOPENED. THIS WAS A GIFT FROM THE BAND'S MANAGER, SO ONE OF THE 66 COPIES THAT WERE NOT FOR SALE - SEE BELOW
FROM WIKIPEDIA: On March 20, 1995 "Vow" was issued in a limited edition 7" vinyl format, backed with a remix of the title track and packaged in an embossed aluminium sleeve. A total of 1,000 copies were pressed, of which only 934 were made available to buy, barely enough to reach the U.K. Top 100. "Vow" sold out in one day. The single was the first of six specially packaged Garbage singles Mushroom Records released between 1995 and 1996, which were costly investment - posting a 70p per-unit loss on each single - but the investment paid off as each subsequent single became bigger hits. The limited pressing helped the "Vow" single to become a highly sought collectible, with copies selling for £100 by the time Mushroom launched follow-up single "Subhuman".
