Is this Item a Fake or Counterfeit?
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 first test pressing is the January Club Single, SP 97, featuring the Fluid's "Candy" (live) on the A side and Nirvana's "Molly's Lips" (live) on the B-side.
The runout groove on the Nirvana side has "LATER" etched into it, K-disc (the mastering) etched into it, and SP-97-B etched into it. The A-side is identical, save for being identified as the A side.
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.
