NIRVANA
Love Buzz/Big Cheese 7” on Sub Pop
Original pressing (#917/1000)

Yes, the real thing. An original pressing of the legendary debut Nirvana single on Sub pop. This copy is #917/1000. I’m the original owner and the thing has been stored unplayed for over 10 years. Also included in this auction is some early Nirvana memorabilia.

The record.
The vinyl is near mint. It’s a very clean copy and has been played fewer than half a dozen times. The cover is VG++. Some minor creasing with the slight impression of the vinyl on the foldover sleeve. A light scratch (about 1 inch long) on the back of the sleeve is visible if you look really closely at the P in reciprocal. I’m being pretty picky here though, overall it’s in really nice shape and should please anyone but the most mint crazy collector (and how many mint copies of this could there possibly be at this stage?). If you have any concerns about my ability to grade a record honestly please check my feedback.

Rest assured this is the original pressing but in case anybody feels like asking the matrix has the “why don’t you trade those guitars for shovels?” line and the “kdisc” stamp. All the text on the cover is clearly legible unlike those of later bootleg editions.

The memorabilia:

1: Final issue of Seattle’s Backlash magazine from 1991. This monthly magazine had covered the early grunge scene from up close and this final issue from March 1991 has Nirvana on the cover and contains one of their first interviews done after Dave Grohl joined the band. Folds out to 8 page tabloid size.

2: Original flyer from a Nirvana/Tad show at the Kennel Club in San Francisco. If I remember correctly this show was with Chad on drums so it was probably in 1990. Flyer is 8 1/2 x 14 inches folded in the middle with slight tape damage across the top. Also two small postcard sized (2 3/4 x 5 1/2) handouts for the same show.

3: Small original flyer (5 1/2 x 3 3/4) for a show in Seattle in 1991 with Bikini Kill and Fitz Of Depression.
