The Trilogy Vinyl is a compilation of three albums by American sludge metal band Melvins, The Maggot, The Bootlicker, and The Crybaby, which were released one after another in a series, within a timespan of one year, with similar album covers. It was released exactly the same day that The Crybaby was released. The compilation lists that every song from all three albums is present, though it is not.

Artwork included

On the back sleeve of the vinyl a warning is included that reads, "Contents include imagery that may be considered offensive or dangerous. Don't be a dumb ass." The artwork is potentially offensive, but is quoted to be a joke by the band (Side B contradicts the artwork of Side A for each vinyl). Side A of the first vinyl is a swastika, and side B is the star of David. Side A of the second vinyl is a picture of the symbol for the Black Panther Party, and side B is the KKK symbol. Side A for the third vinyl is a picture of the Cross, and side B is a Satanic Star.
