There seemed to be at least two pressings like this, with and without a barcode. Click the image for an example of an *authentic* Chiva tape, courtesy of Trey Pangborn.ġ993 - This simply titled, yet very rare cassette, came around the time of Robbin' the Hood and, like Chiva Kenevil, contained a few of the songs from the main album (including Raliegh!).ġ994 - As with 40oz, there was an early pressing of Robbin' the Hood, released by Skunk Records.
In addition, there also exists a rare early 40oz Skunk cassette which contained the only official release of the extended version of the final "Thanks" track.ġ993 - This rare cassette, "Chiva" has been called the demo for Robbin' the Hood because it came out the year before and contains some of the same songs. The earliest version actually had no barcode. There were 3+ separate pressings by Skunk Records, identified by differences in the back art.

But these rare, early versions had the full album as intended by the band. Dubbed the "Rasta Jah" by notorious collector "GMAN" yet this version's quantities and origins are not completely clear, nor the time frame when produced.ġ992 - The first few pressings of 40oz to Freedom, released under Skunk Records exclusively (pre-MCA) were special, they had extra and un-edited tracks which were altered with MCA's instance, in most cases to remove samples which could have cost too much in lawsuits or licensing fees. Additionally, there exists another version of the Jah tape which has a black cassette (rather than clear) with red and yellow paper labels. It is quite rare, estimated to be limited to around 300 copies which were sold almost exclusively in Southern California. Designated as "C005" on the tape (and "006" on the J-card), it was produced as a full album to be sold at shows (and any store that would buy it) to make money and promote the band. It featured green labels and a very distinguishable J-card cover drawn almost completely by hand (then photocopied) in black and white.ġ991 - Often considered the demo for 40oz to Freedom, "Jah" is a cornerstone for serious collectors as it is the very first official release by the band.
The tape contained only four songs, and rumor has it only around 100 original copies were made. Individual info pages for each album will be added as time permits.ĭemos and Early Release Collectibles C003ġ990 - Made using recording time that Miguel had at CSUDH, Sublime's first multi-copy demo tape is simply titled "C003". Most of the album covers only link to a larger image for now. All efforts will be made to include every last known item, but the list is LONG, and it is a work in progress. This portion of the Discography focuses on hard to find, official releases (demos, promos, singles, imports and vinyl records).
