Description
You are bidding on a very rare NIRVANA Bleach red vinyl album. This was pressed in Australia under the Waterfront Records label.There is an estimated 500 only copies of this coloured vinyl. I am the second owner of this copy, and reluctantly selling, after owning it for 14 years. The album is in perfect condition. The sleeve has some wear to the spine but is in good condition. I have attached photographs of the damage to the spine as well as the handwritten matrix which shows this is a genuine copy and not a fake. This is a must for any Nirvana collection. Below is some history of these rare Waterfront record releases in Australia; (Borrowed from www.sliver.it/nirvana/test/index )
" label waterfront code DAMP 114

labels printed in many different vinyl colours, allegedly in 500 copies for each colour. however, some of them (purple, black) appear less frequently than others, and may have been made in lesser quantities. from terry searle: I do remember asking Frank (Cotterell, owner of Waterfront) about the number of copies, and he was rather vague. In fact I asked him all about the number of pressings of the various coloured Bleaches etc... And gave hime some of the ball park figures that we have come up with... eg. Blue LTD to 1500 pressings, purple, yellow = 300 copies, Red, green = 500 copies and so on. He said these seem about right. And told me that they never kept any actual records of the pressing quantities of each LP. I also guessed at about 20 (thereabouts) copies of the test pressing, and he thinks that is a reasonable figure. all sleeves are made with the same cardboard stock, and have a 'flat' spine, except for the black vinyl issue, where it's 'rounded'. the silver ink has a metallic finish. there are two types of labels, the differences are the text size, and the presence or not of an extra line of credits, 'Licensed from SUB-POP (U.S.A.)' under the track titles. NB: when they run out of coloured sleeves, leftover black/silver sleeves were used. also, there may be combinations of vinyl/sleeve/matrix/label different from those listed in this page"
