AboutGMan Expertise I can answer any/all questions in regard to "sublime". I was down with the band and Skunk Records since 1991; the year they released their second cassette, "Jah Won't Pay the Bills" until the end in 1996. I have answers to all of your questions about their music, their releases, their unreleased music, their promos, merchandise, and the like. You ask it, I'll answer it.
Experience I have extensive knowledge of "sublime" from their origin(s)through the end of their career. I have been involved with "sublime" from the early years when Kelly Vargas was on Drums, I know everything that there is to know about their early career, their rise to fame in the early 90's, & on through until May 96' when Brad passed away. I specialize in the band's merchandise. I have been collecting everything that is "sublime" since the beginning and have extensive knowledge on the subject. They released an unparalleled amount of DYI promotional merchandise before being signed to MCA & I would be glad to help you find out what piece of their BIG puzzle you are holding on to and/or what you'd like to get your hand on!
Publications I am a regular on all of the sublime chat boards and was a constant on the now defunct sublime board, "The Curb" where many people considered me the "go to guy" for information on "sublime" and the rarities that they left behind for us all.
Question Hey Gman,
I saw this description of 13 fl oz pressings...
"1993-94 - There were at least 4 different versions of 13 fl oz, all released on CD. The first 3 versions had a cardboard sleeve (500 copies?) and the last had a standard jewel case (1000 copies?). The first cardboard version was standard, the second pressing was a radio-friendly version and the last cardboard-sleeved version had 2 hidden tracks."
...and I was wondering if you agree with this information and do you have any other info to add to it? No rush and thanks for your time and help!
Nate from Fullerton
Answer Hey Nate,
No, I don't agree. Both of them have two hidden tracks and the "Second" pressing is not "Radio Friendly". There is no difference in the two other than the cases; with the "First" being the "Cardboard Sleeve" version & the "Second" being the "Jewel Case" version.
What this guy means to say (I think) is that the "Second" Press was "DJ Friendly".
There were two versions: The "First" press & The "Second" Press.
