She labeled other Sub Pop test pressings too. I don't know exactly how many were pressed (not many)." |

| notes | green vinyl with white marbling, 4000 copies. as usually happens with marbled vinyls the appearance may vary a lot, in the overall shade, the amount of marbling and the presence of bits of vinyl of different colours. white 'color vinyl' sticker on the front sleeve. the same sticker was also used in some copies of the coloured bleach 12" reissues (in place of the more common green sticker) and in some copies of the coloured vinyl of the hard to believe compilation. |

| notes | note from the previous owner, terence yong: Molly's Lips Mispress 7 is ultra rare and is believed to be 1 of a kind. I received it in 1995 while studying in California. It came together with a bunch of Subpop related vinyls and promos via a trade with a college mate who came from Seattle. This guy used to work in Subpop and had access to many test-pressings and promos stuff. He also told me this mispress occurred when the pressing plant never cleaned the plates and when they started pressing the black after the green, they just put the pellets on and melted the plastic. Apparently, the error was detected quickly, because another one has never been seen In Dec 2002 and dead broke, I resold this rare mispress to Dave MacDougall, my good friend. Dave is the current owner. the current owner has made a nice framed display |
