NIRVANA.BLEACH.Australian WATERFRONT label.WHITE LABEL TEST PRESSING.Catalogue number : DAMP-114Matrix code A side : DMX 71211 2ACMatrix code B side : DMX 71212 2C It is rumoured that possibly only 7-10 or so test pressings of this album were produced.A handfull of these were sold directly by Frank Cotterel himself, owner of Waterfront Records, and possibly only single figures have an accompanying A4 letter of authenticity composed and signed by Frank in person.
This is one of those albums.
Thereby making it absolutely as rare as it can possibly get The only other one on ebay is listed at 5,999.99 so buy it now at a fair price because you may never see one of these for sale on ebay again.
Any Nirvana test pressing is highly sought after and most collectors tend to hold onto them.
The white labels have a handwritten text in black ink on the A side only, stating, NIRAVANA : it was written on the LPs in error by non-English speaking employees at the pressing plant.
According to Frank Cotterel, owner of Waterfront Records, this appears on all of the known test pressings, and was the source of much amusement to himself and his business partner at Waterfront, along with other English speaking employees.
The record is housed in a thin semi-opaque liner inside the original plain white card sleeve with a central die cut hole.
The vinyl is pristine mint, and, to the best of my knowledge has never been on a record deck.
There are no spindle marks at the center holes.
The B side white label is blank.
The matrix codes in both the run outs are hand-etched.
The matrix code on the A side has been corrected where the letter A has been crossed out and replaced with a letter C .
