Most of their back catalogue has long been out of print physically. Only the CD compilation A Bestiary Of (which reunites all their early material recorded between 1981 and 1983) is still available in record stores. Their second album Boomerang is available on iTunes and other media players whereas their third and fourth albums released on Sioux Records are not available on any official digital platform except Spotify.
In 2020, Sub pop put back online in the shop on their website mint copies of an exclusive vinyl "Take Mine" / "Sad Cunt" pressed by the US label for the North American market in early 2000.[1]
