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.

This is an Official release of Nirvana's "Hormoaning" EP which was very limited to around only 4,000 pressed on the rare Red & Blue Swirled wax.  This Exclusive Australian '92 Tour EP was released to promote the Australian leg of Nirvana's 1992 Pacific Rim Tour.  Released on the Geffen / MCA label, this record was distributed by BMG Arista / Ariola in Australia only. 

This release first became available for purchase at the "Waterfront Records" stall at "The Big Day Out" Music Festival held in Sydney in 1992, where Nirvana Headlined. After the Festival, the majority of remaining copies were sent to "Au Go Go Records" in Melbourne for subsequent resale. Both the Vinyl and Sleeve are in Excellent Condition.   Very rare collectable from my personal collection which I have had since the 1990's - will be very well packaged in sturdy cardboard.
