hey people,

anyone know how many vinyl copies Homestead pressed of the debut? before they added the jr?

oh – and does anyone know how many different pressings were made?

noone?! there must be someone nerdier that me…

As far as I know no copies were made with Jr added. original copies had grey labels.second run red label.

cool! thanks alot. i guess the ‘jr’ was only added on cd´s?
"Originally issued with the original band name of Dinosaur on the cover. After the band changed it name, subsequent pressing were issued with the new band name of Dinosaur Jr.on the cover." -from keeblin.com

the uk pressing has a kind of mint green label if it helps anyone…

Same as the Green River one.

what is green river?

[simmons]

I think it is an Everly Brothers song. Check it out.

You mean the early grunge band Green River? The one that included Mark Arm, Steve Turner (Mudhoney), and Stone Gossard, Jeff Ament (Pearl Jam, Mother Love Bone)?

at first i thought you were talking about the creedence album green river.

my dinosaur LP has no JR and it has a red label on the album itself so i guess its a 2nd run pressing.

Boo said something about Green River as a response to me saying the UK pressing of dinosaur has a green label…

Does anyone else have additional info on the first dinosaur LP? different pressings and so on?
