Description

You are bidding on the original NIRVANA 12" EP BLEW from TUPELO RECORDING COMPANY.
There are many fakes out there but this is not one of them. I have been the only owner.
If you check the vinyl under a bright light you can see some scuffs from the crappy paper inner sleeve  it languished in for the last 25+!!! years but I cleaned it up and gave it a spin and it plays perfect.  I am being conservative with the VG+ grading. It sounds awesome! After cleaning I put it in a new MOFI inner sleeve to protect it. 
The jacket has some minor spine damage (check the pictures) and some light ring wear on the back.
IF you have ANY questions PLEASE ask before bidding.

FEEDBACK POLICY: Once you receive your item please leave feedback if everything was to your satisfaction. Once I get feedback I will then leave feedback for you!  If you have any problems please contact me first before leaving feedback so I can have a chance to make it right. Thank you.

From WIKIPEDIA...

   "Blew" was written in 1988 by Nirvana front man Kurdt Cobain. The song was recorded in December 1988 and initially appeared as the first track on Nirvana's 1989 debut album Bleach. The version of "Been a Son" that was recorded for the EP is hailed as the "definitive take" of that song as it encompasses Nirvana's thrashing signature sound as well as Krist Novoselic's bass guitar solo being much more pronounced in the mix. "Stain" features both dual vocal and dual guitar tracks.

Blew was released in December 1989 on Tupelo Records on 12" vinyl and Compact Disc. The Extended play was originally scheduled to be released to coincide with the beginning of Nirvana's European leg of the Bleach tour, but it was released several months late. In addition to the song "Blew", the release also includes "Love Buzz". This mix of "Love Buzz" is the Bleach version, as opposed to the 7" Sub Pop Singles version. To round off the rest of the maxi-single, two previously-unreleased songs, "Been a Son" and "Stain" were included that stemmed from a 1989 studio session.

Blew was intended to be released to promote an upcoming European tour, but this plan was scrapped, and the maxi-single ended up being released exclusively in the UK shortly after its completion.

As Blew was released only in the UK it was thus difficult to obtain elsewhere. Only 3,000 copies of the maxi-single were pressed on 12" vinyl and CD. Both vinyl and CD counterfeit copies exist, of which the vinyl copies vary in color (the official 12" vinyl was only pressed on black vinyl).
