Though “Love Buzz” (originally performed by Shocking Blue) was remixed. The cartoon intro is a brief clip taken from one of Cobain’s early sound collages, Montage of Heck. This was Nirvana’s first single, as well as the first item issued to members of the Sub Pop Singles Club. All copies are pressed on black vinyl (45 rpm), though sleeves may vary. Numbered Sleeves 1000 copies were hand-numbered with a red marker. Examples of the numbering can be found in the Owners’ List. Matrix etchings (see below) and sleeve quality are key features of this item if you are concerned about fakes. Unnumbered Sleeves A Sub Pop invoice. Indicates that 1200 sleeves were made. Considering that 1000 were used for the hand-numbered single, that leaves 200 extras, apparently with a red slash. The extras were given out to those closely involved, as stated by Charles Peterson. I will have to look at my Love Buzz single. I might have two and I’m pretty sure that one of them is unnumbered. I think Jon and Bruce have most of those squirreled away. No matter how many records were made and what sleeve they came in (numbered or unnumbered), the vinyl should be exactly the same , including the matrix etchings. This is corroborated by those that have an unnumbered version. I mention this because there are counterfeit copies with unnumbered sleeves. Those don’t have the red marker slash. But it would be very easy to reproduce this feature. It’s been said that Australia may have received the most exported copies. M a t r i x n o t e s. If your single does not have the codes below, you’ve got a problem. All codes are hand-etched, except for Kdisc which is done by machine. S i d e a m a t r i x c o d e.
