TINDERSTICKS Milky Teeth / Patchwork ORIG 1st 7"
I have just discovered this in my record collection. I have owned it since new and it is numbered 436/500 - somewhat bizarrely the 4 and 3 look like they have been tipexed on presumably due to a numbering error but the handwriting is certainly the same as the other numbers. I would describe the the condition as mint or near mint but I am not an expert. When I took the photo the record was the wrong way around in the sleeve so you cannot see the rest of the green stamp but I can assure you it is on the other side. I have copied the info below from another listing I discovered. I noticed the last one in the UK sold for £140+ so I have priced this competitively. Any questions please ask.
First pressing - November.1992, UK, Tippy Toe, [Tippy Toe 001] limited to 500, hand-coloured folded paper picture sleeve, inner sleeve, with insert, hand red-stamped and hand-numbered from 1 to 500; few copies with press release.
Second pressing - December.1992, UK, Tippy Toe, [Tippy Toe 001] limited to 500, black & white folded paper picture sleeve, inner sleeve, with insert, hand-red stamped and hand-numbered from -500 to -1.
"Lee Side" was supposed to have Milky Teeth.
"Nancy Side" was supposed to have Patchwork.

The first Tindersticks record ever!
In 1992, the band ordered the first 500 copies of Patchwork/Milky Teeth, but they were pressed up the wrong way round - the "Lee Side" was supposed to have Milky Teeth, but it played Patchwork and the "Nancy Side" was supposed to have Patchwork but it played Milky Teeth - so they got in touch with the pressing plant, who re-pressed it - but the second batch was done the wrong way round again! The second pressing was numbered in minus figures (-500 to -1) and the sleeves were not hand-coloured.
