I own a huge collection of CD’s, 7”es, LP’s and autographs by Nirvana/Foo Fighters/Kurt Cobain/Dave Grohl. But now it’s time to share some of those great and mostly unplayed records. If you are interested in more items (including many side-projects) just simply send me a message.

allmusic.com says of Hormoaning:

Originally released to promote Nirvana's early 1992 Australian tour (and reissued a month later in Japan for similar purposes, albeit with different cover art), the Hormoaning EP quickly became a much sought-after item to Nirvana fans and collectors alike. Not only was it produced in relatively scarce quantities, but it also gave those who were lucky enough to track down a copy an opportunity to hear an assortment of rare tracks unavailable elsewhere (that is until Incesticide, which contains most of these songs, was released later in the year). Only two originals are featured on Hormoaning — the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" B-side, "Even in His Youth", and the colossal, foreboding "Aneurysm". However, in the same way that MTV Unplugged in New York would later prove, the four cover songs here tell as much about Nirvana as do the originals. Kurt Cobain's wide-ranging influences are acknowledged as if they were one and the same — the group's love of new wave (shown in their take on Devo's "Turnaround") is treated no differently as their nod to Northwest underground punk stalwarts the Wipers ("D-7") or Cobain's beloved Scottish twee pop heroes, the Vaselines ("Son of a Gun" and "Molly's Lips"). Regardless of the availability of most of this material elsewhere, Hormoaning still serves as a revealing entry in the catalog of the most influential rock band of the '90s.

Shipping-costs:

Please note that I am located in Germany and that the shipping-costs to the USA are NOT $4.00 but $21.00 for a LP (registered airmail)!!!! While creating a new auction, Ebay forces sellers to state a maximum of $4.00 for shipping (don’t ask me why they do that because it doesn’t make any sense).

Shipping-costs to Germany are $7.00 and NOT $12.00 as stated.

All other shipping-costs are stated correctly!

If you buy more than one item I can combine shipping.

I will not charge you more shipping-costs than necessary.

Final sale - no warranty.

I normally do not touch any of my records like that BUT I can explain why I did in this case.

Most sellers on Ebay made such horrible pictures of this certain vinyl (where you couldn’t see the beauty of the vinyl, especially when it’s so beautifully marbled like my copy).

So I decided to make better pictures - which is ONLY possible when you hold the vinyl into the light.

I can assure that I washed my hands before I touched the vinyl and made these pictures.

There was definitely NO DAMAGE caused to the vinyl just because I touched it for a few seconds!!!

I don’t know what’s going on in the brains of two certain guys out there but it’s absurdity that the grooves get damaged or destroyed after they have been touched by some fingers.

I have collected Nirvana for about 14 years and I know what I am talking about.

Vinyl-LP’s are very resistant – not against scratches or heat but definitely against fingerprints (if that wasn’t true how would a DJ be able to play records at a party?).

It was the only time that I touched this 12” like that and you can be assured that you cannot even see any of my fingerprints on the vinyl because my hands got washed before.

By the way: I protect all of my LP’s by using additional plastic-sleeves and I store all of my records in self-made wooden boxes. I guess this is the best protection that any record can get.

Hope this helps…

All the best,
