    The simple fact that this single has never been officially reissued with sales going to 5 digits blows my mind. The labels and band member will practically sell anything with the word "Nirvana" on it yet repressing this single alludes them. Insanity.

        Sad to report that my copy #660/1000 was stolen from me today in Geneva, Switzerland. Burglars broke into my apartment and took the safe which had the record inside. I’ve had this copy for over six years, purchased it at HMV Shibuya in Tokyo, I can provide proof of purchase. Please get in touch if you come across it.
