L-31540 Kdisc s i d e b m a t r i x c o d e SP-23-B L-31540X KdiscI've sold 1000's of Sub Pop 7"s on Ebay but sold off all my stock several years ago to a guy who now sells it on Ebay. I was the man to go to for Sub Pop records from 2000 to 2007.
This copy belongs to my brother Bill and here's how he got it. He was a drummer in several bands here in Seattle back in the 80's. He played around town and went to several early Nirvana gigs before Dave Grohl came aboard. He said he saw them when there was 5 band members. He didn't really care for the early incarnation of Nirvana but one night he heard Love Buzz and asked someone in the band if they had recorded it. He was told they had just released Love Buzz on a 7" and to keep an eye out for it. My brother knew the owner of a local record store and called him up asking about the 7". The owner told him he was getting some of the 7" but he had already had them all sold even before the 7" was released. He told him he'd give him a call if he got any extra copies. A short time later the guy called Bill and told him that the Sub Pop guys, who he knew, had dropped off the 45s and given him a couple extras but unfortunately they weren't numbered. Bill was bummed because he wanted one of the "limited edition" numbered copies. Well, he had the guy set it aside for him and picked it up a few days later. The outer plastic protective sleeve still has the sticker with his name on it "Billy W." He played it a few times put it in the plastic sleeve, put it away, and there it sat for over 20 years until today when he gave it to me to sell. If you want an original copy in exceptional condition from a trustworthy, reliable, Ebay seller, then this copy is for you. It isn't cheap but these are so rare and come up for auction so infrequently it ain't gonna be cheap. It is a reserve auction but why hassle with other bidders when you can Buy It Now. Last one I saw sold for about $2100. I could have bought copies of this several years ago for about $1000 but figured it couldn't increase in value and wasn't a good investment. Obviously I was wrong. Get it now before it's $3000. Never happen you say?
