The 7" record is a mix of excerpts from all the tracks of the Potatoes compilation edited together by Mark Hosler of Negativland. Record plays same tracks on both sides. It was released in a limited edition of 550 copies, so there are left copies (Mashed Potatoe (A Mashed Version Of Potatoes)) from this edition. A small run of this 7" single (perhaps 10-30 copies) were mispressed on marbled "milk green" vinyl, residues of other color in press got mixed in on earliest pressings meant to be done in white.
