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.

The cover artwork was copied from "The John Barry Seven Plus Four - The John Barry Sound" 7" EP and edited for the replaced name "The Tindersticks" and altered label stamp.
