I accidentally purchased two White Blood Cells through Amazon UK. Despite a crappy shipping job the vinyl is in perfect shape, though one corner of the jacket is crushed ~1/2 inch. If you could use it, PM me. $20 shipped or will trade for just about anything.

Hey does anyone know if White Blood Cells can still be ordered via somewhere or if it's still being pressed? I don't think amazon is selling it anymore and I just want a copy of it no matter which pressing. Thanks.

I guess the opaque 'cause that is considered as the original XL pressing.
However..... that is off course untill somebody shows up with a red/swirled version.

What is the difference between red opaque 2001 and 2008? Other matrix num., labels or...?

I believe that the translucent one is the earlier and allegedly rarer version. Courtesy of Popsike:

A translucent one: http://www.popsike.com/php/detaildatar. ... 0262450059
An opaque one: http://www.popsike.com/php/detaildatar. ... 0254182037

The text of the second listing implies the opaque/solid one is the rarer one but I think it's the other way around

All of the 2008 re-pressings have different matrix numbers to the earlier XL versions
