LOVE BUZZ - #542

colby miers
I received this until-recently-undiscovered copy of Love Buzz/Big Cheese in an eBay auction ending on April 10, 2014, the same day Nirvana was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
The record was part of a set of merchandise sold by David T. of Seattle, WA who interned at Sub Pop in ’88 and ’89 and claims he was at the Terminal Sales Building in ’88 when Nirvana came to pick up their copies of the single, and that he watched as Bruce Pavitt told the band, “We’d really like to put out your LP…”
The lot sold for $3300 and included the following items (all records first pressings):
• Love Buzz/Big Cheese 7” - “542”/1000 in mint condition (Sub Pop, 1988)
• Bleach on white vinyl (still in its original shrink wrap) [Sub Pop, 1989]
• Sliver 7” (Sub Pop, 1990)
• Nirvana/The Fluid’s Molly’s Lips/Candy 7” (Sub Pop, 1991)
• Nirvana/Jesus Lizard’s Puss/Oh, The Guilt 7” (Touch And Go, 1993)
• Original white Nirvana/Sub Pop T-shirt with orange “Dante’s Inferno” print
• An original flyer from Kurt Cobain’s private funeral service held on April 10, 1994, featuring a portrait of Kurt Cobain as a child and the inscription “Kurt Cobain, 1967 - 1994”.
