Blissed Out is a compilation album by Dum Dum Girls, and was released July 13, 2010.[1] The album contains various pre-Sub Pop original recordings and covers together for the first time. It was released only on blue, red, pink and grey cassettes that were limited to 400 pressings[2] and is now sold out.[1]

The cover picture does not show the members of the band. Dee Dee Penny once explained the origin.[3]

"It is a still from a German porno. I don’t remember how I came across that. I hunt on the internet for images for fun, collecting visuals that I think I might use. I don’t know if I was looking up school children and I wrote it in German, but it is from a soft porno called Schulmädchen which is like ‘school girls’ or something. I knew that Sub Pop wouldn’t put out something with that much nudity anymore so I used it on the cassette."
