Additional info: I'll try to make a decent resume on this one. When Kurt Urban Karlsson disbanded in 1993-1994 after releasing 2 tapes and a 7'', 3 of the four members decided to make a new band and sing in english. They changed the band's name to Adhesive and recorded a 10 song demo tape titled "Thrust & Burn", releasing it independently in 1994. This tape was limited to 100 copies and some people say that the band sent one copy to Fat Mike trying to get signed to Fat Wreck Chords and he replied they were the second best band from Sweden after Randy, he really liked them, but since in those times Fat Wreck was still small, they couldn't put a release by them. So, if you are looking desperately for this demo tape, try bugging Fat Mike for his copy, because I won't get rid of mine. OK, that was the story before Yoghurt, so here's the actual story. A (shitty and hated by most of the bands on it) label called Brööl Records offered Adhesive to put out a relase in 1995. Adhesive entered the studios and recorded 6 tracks, which were converted in the Yoghurt EP. The label actually released 500 copies (this 1st press is the one with the green-ish yellow-is CD) and since they sold out quickly they made a 2nd press of it; again, 500 copies only (white CD). So, since this post is about Yoghurt, I'll bring some facts about this 2nd press. Brööl Records was famous for being a really lazy label (same as Lost & Found from Germany I believe). Since they were too lazy to find the CD-R with the artwork to reprint it, they decided to just scan and re-print all the artwork, so the quality was obviously worse. If you have both presses and you look carefully to any part of the printed paper (cover, inside, back) you'll see the quality difference; it has "less alive" colors and it's a little more blurred. Another fact is that when Adhesive started touring to promote this EP, a lot of people called their name wrong, something like "Ah-deh-seev" so they decided to put the correct pronounciation in the stamp of the CD. After the success of this CD, Ampersand Records decided to sign them for a full length contract, which became Sideburner in 1996, but that's another story...
