Description
Up for sale is the great 1992 Hormoaning maroon (red/blue/purple) coloured vinyl by Nirvana,which was released in Australia to coincide with their first tour to Australia in 1992. As you can tell by the pictures, the unique thing about these are that no two are the same. There are 6 songs in total - 3 each side.
This vinyl is in Near Mint condition, cover has minor marks but is in Excellent condition.
As this was limited to a 4000 pressing these are getting harder to come across
This is a piece of musical history that is getting harder and harder to find.
I originally purchased this record 20 years ago from an auction at Sydney record store icon Phantom Records and have lovingly stored it away in my collection ever since!
I am happy to ship worldwide.
Matrix codes on the vinyl are (they appear to be hand etched)
side 1 - dmx 79745@2b
side 2 - dmx 79746@2a
Feel free to contact me with any questions and good luck to all bidders!

allmusic.com says of Hormoaning:
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.
Happy bidding and good luck!
