Description
Nirvana Nevermind Globus Green Vinyl Original Black Label. GE0235/GE0236. A chance to own this rare record. The cover and insert are in excellent condition with just the left side top and bottom corners of the sleeve showing the very slightest of wear. The record itself should be in near perfect condition having never been played since purchase many years ago. The record label itself shows some very slightly darker markings that may have come from finger prints. I note these very small blemishes as I know how important they are to collectors. Nevertheless I feel they in no way detract from the overall excellent quality here. The record will be well packaged and sent 2nd class/signed for in the UK. International postage please enquire Thanks for looking. Here's a little info on the record I found on the net:-
several unofficial repressings on black and coloured vinyl exist. here's some interesting info from an italian collector:
A few years ago, at an Utrecht (Holland) record fair, I had the chance to speak with a Czech man who played an important part in the Globus label's record releases. This elderly man, well know in record company circles, explained to me that the Globus label had been licensed by BMG to release limited edition vinyl pressings, including Nirvana's Nevermind LP.
This came about because he had 'distinguished' himself in the years before the collapse of the Soviet Union, to the point of being imprisoned with the Czech political leader Vaclav Havel (who later became President of the Czech Republic).
After the fall of the Berlin wall, he got into the record business, and Globus released coloured vinyl editions from a lot of famous artists.
In the 1990's, the European record market underwent a big change; production was centralized, with records manufactured mainly in Germany and the UK and then distributed to other countries. This lead to the collapse of most local labels, including Globus.
The pressing plates fell into wrong hands, and were (are) used for illegal repressings of the most marketable records.
The repressings all have silver labels, while original Globus pressings all have black labels.
