'''"Here She Comes Now"/"Venus in Furs"''' is a split 7" single with [[Nirvana]], released in June 1991.

Tri-Fold Sleeve, Communion Label (Comm 23)

Both tracks are [[Velvet Underground]] covers, and the cover art paradies the album cover art from which the tracks first appeared: the Melvins-side resembles the cover of ''[[The Velvet Underground and Nico]]'' and the Nirvana-side resembles ''[[White Light/White Heat]]'', both from 1967.

The single was limited to 1000 copies and was available in 8 different colors.

There are most likely just 1000 total copies, but I've read something that makes it seem like there could be 1000 copies of each color. Available colors include: black, light blue, dark blue, light green, dark green, grey, pink, light purple, dark purple, red, and yellow. Additional colors may have also been pressed, including orange which may have been given to the band members. There are counterfeits of this available as well that are black vinyl, I think they came out of Australia.
