NIRVANA - In Utero
Geffen Record Company - Sub Pop
Cat# GEFD-24536
1993
Australian release
WARNING! If like your CD media to be pristine (or near to) then move right along .... you would not be happy with this CD!
However it is the MUSIC that you appreciate more than anything, this is some great Nirvana (with no playback issues!)
CD case, front cover and rear inlay are in very good condition. In addition to this packaging, I found inserted inside the booklet two 'playing cards' which have the album artwork on the front and blank on the rear. I cannot find any references to these cards in relation to the Australian release, however they are provided anyway (tucked inside the front booklet)
CD media is in good (minus) condition, visually inspected under a bright white halogen light source and I can see numerous very light ~ light scratches or marks. This album was played by the staff in our studios many times and unfortunately they did not handle this copy very well! I set up my Tascam broadcast player and whilst playing the ENTIRE album, every single track, viewed the BLER rate - yes, higher than 'normal' but the most important thing of all - NO issues on playback! Very interested album this one ...
Oh, keep in mind that VERY LONG period of silence after track 12 has played ... around 20 minutes of nothing, zilch, nada zero and then the last track bursts into life! Be patient and await the mayhem!
TRACKS: Serve The Servants, Scentless Apprentice, Heart-shaped Box, Rape Me, Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle, Dumb, Very Ape, Milk It, Pennyroyal Tea, Radio Friendly Unit Shifter, Tourette's, All Apologies ..... wait for it wait for it (20 minutes of silence) Gallons Of Rubbing Alcohol Flow Through The Strip
