Discography
Bulb Records' first release was actually catalog number BLB-026. Larson and Magas chose this number to make it appear as though they had more records out at the time. This has resulted in many gaps in the Bulb catalog, and much confusion over release dates. • Steev Mike 7-inch (Unofficial Item of Interest) • BLB-001 BULB/BLACKJACK split #1 • BLB-002 BULB/BLACKJACK split #2 • BLB-003/OVR-003 COUCH/BULLET IN THE HEAD split 12-inch EP • BLB-004 Mr. Velocity Hopkins "Das Boot" cassette (a CHOCOLATE MONK release) • BLB-005 PREHENSILE MONKEYTAILED SKINK "I am a gorilla" 7-inch (Blackjack Records) • BLB-006/Insignificant MR.
