 Don't think there is officially a yellow version, could well be part of the clear run accidently pressed on on translucent yellow. Either way the price is insane!

could also just be a one off made by a plant employee/mastering engineer. can't believe it sold for over a grand

Been watching this copy of Love Buzz with great curiosity the past few days as I suspect it's a bootleg and the seller even (subtly) adds the words "repress" to the description:

 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/NIRVANA-LOVE-BUZZ-BIG-CHEESE-VINYL-7-RARE-45-GRUNGE-SUB-POP-NUMBERED/174295164011

Also purposely obscuring the sleeve. Hard to believe there are people willing to pay that much money that are that uneducated about this record

 

The real copy of #28 can be found here, picture and all.

Yes, those were the three things that convinced me it was a bootleg:

 

1. Sticking "repress" into the description.

 

2. Sneakily covering the part of the sleeve that can most easily be used to identify whether it's authentic (the Alice Wheeler credit).

 

3. The fact that this number is already registered in the Love Buzz database, and the hand-numbered on that presumably legitimate copy is clearly different from this one so there's no chance it's the same copy being sold.

 

Bidding was around the $300 range for some time which honestly isn't too bad for a well-done boot of this, but the way the price jumped the past 24 hours I think whoever is bidding doesn't realize it's a fake.

 

Poor soul...

Yeah, that "0" before the 28 is a giveaway. From what I've seen, none of the original copies had 3 digits in the 2/1 digit range.

Yep, that too - this one rings all the “stuff to lookout for” warning bells.

 

If it were the old days I’d contact the high bidder and let them know but unfortunately you can’t help folks out like that anymore since eBay started hiding usernames...

Oof, thats pretty fucked. To add to it more, the below release on Discogs, for an 'unofficial' copy, matches the matrix he mentions, SP.23 A1. As opposed to the 'sp23 A why don't you trade in those guitars for shovels...':

Why don't you report the item to eBay as a boot?

Because narcs are the same as cops, fucking trash.
 

It’s clearly a boot, if you can’t see that, or aren’t paying enough attention or simply don’t care, that’s on you for paying whatever you pay for it. It’s really easy to search out information on this type of stuff.

Totally unrelated note, does anyone know where I can buy several copies of this boot? https://www.discogs.com/release/871693?utm_source=mobile&utm_medium=app&utm_campaign=Android App 

I have one of these.   https://www.discogs.com/Nirvana-Love-Buzz-bw-Big-Cheese/release/4414689

100% of the proceeds from the sale of this record will go to the ActBlue Split Bail Fund which evenly divides donations between 39 different relief funds and community organisations. Nice.

ugh I'm going to watch this, I'm almost certain it will be too rich for my blood at the end but I'd be in at this point but I'm not going to bid early
