Polar Bear is the debut release from Polar Bear, led by ex-Jane's Addiction bassist Eric Avery. This clear blue 12" vinyl, MR-054, was self-produced and released on Man's Ruin Records, limited to 2,000 copies. It includes instrumental versions of songs the band would later release on their records, reworked with vocal tracks. Intended for spinning and mixing by DJs, these versions have more of a club edge to them.
