USA 7" [Cavity Search CSR 2]

This is the first 7" single by Heatmiser. It was put out by Cavity Search Records in 1993. It’s numbered on the back cover and limited to 1,000 copies. It is on white vinyl. Stray and Can’t Be Touched both appeared on the band's album from 1993 titled Dead Air. However, these are different versions of the songs. The sleeve for this single is a foldout sleeve that is connected just on the left side so it opens in the direction that a book would. 

Some copies were sent to the UK to promote the single and/or the album Dead Air. I'm still listing this item under this US pressing since the record is the same pressing. It just had a promo sticker for Real Time Promotions affixed to the back cover and also had a Dead Air promo sheet with it. But it's not a proper UK pressing. See photos below. The Dead Air promo sheet also has a copy of an article from The Rocket on the back side.

Matrix info according to Discogs:

  • Matrix / Runout (A side-etched): CSR 2 R-15288
  • Matrix / Runout (B side-etched): CSR 2 R-15289
