Description
THIS IS THE MEGA RARE GERMAN PRESSED PROMOTIONAL 7" VINYL SINGLE OF NIRVANA'S PENNYROYAL TEA. IT IS IN MINT CONDITION. DUE TO THE TRAGIC DEATH OF NIRVANA'S FRONT MAN KURT COBAIN AND HENCE THE CANCELLATION OF THE PLANNED 1994 EUROPEAN TOUR, THE RECORD COMPANY ISSUED A RECALL AND CANCELLATION ON ALL OF THE PENNYROYAL TEA SINGLES MANUFACTURED FOR RELEASE AND PROMOTIONAL PURPOSES. THIS INCLUDED BOTH CD'S AND VINYLS. THE RECORD COMPANY APPARENTLY THOUGHT THAT WITHOUT THE TOUR TO SUPPORT THE RELEASE OF THE SINGLE THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SELL AS MANY COPIES AS THEY INITIALLY EXPECTED. THEY WERE SCARED THAT THEY MAY LOSE A LOT OF MONEY IF THE PLANNED RELEASE WENT AHEAD WITHOUT NIRVANA TO BACK IT. THERE MAY HAVE ALSO BEEN SOME CONTROVERSY OR BACKLASH FELT BY THE RECORD COMPANY OVER ONE OF THE SONG TITLES FEATURED ON THIS VINYL "I HATE MYSELF AND WANT TO DIE". I DO NOT PERSONALLY KNOW HOW MANY OF THESE CD'S AND VINYLS ARE STILL IN CIRCULATION TODAY. PERHAPS SOME ARE HELD BY EX-EMPLOYEES FROM THE PRESSING PLANT. WHAT I DO KNOW IS THAT MOST WERE SIMPLY DESTROYED BY THE RECORD COMPANY AFTER THE RECALL.
