Nirvana test pressing Sliver/Dive SP-77
I will be listing three Nirvana test pressings today. They've been with me since their original issue, but haven't been out of their box in at least a decade. Which means it's time somebody else appreciated them.
I was, for a time, a music journalist in Seattle. Each of these test pressings was given to me by the owners of Sub Pop. I have a rough idea what they're worth, and if this auction doesn't prove out I'll put them back in the box and wait.

This second test pressing is SP 77, featuring the Nirvana's "Sliver" b/w "Dive." I've just posted the A-side, as there's nothing written on the back.

The runout groove just has the matrix number, K-Disc, and SP's matrix on it.

I have place a substantial but not, I hope, unreasonable reserve on this item.

I have also checked "no international shipping" by way of protecting myself. I'll ship abroad, but not everywhere, so please check with me before bidding. If you want expedited shipping, we can do that, I'll have to get it priced and sort it out at check-out with the winning bidder.

Thanks for bidding. Or just looking.
